Multi-span cable-stayed bridge is a new and attractive structure. The tower plays an important role to improve the seismic resistance. Two types of towers were studied in this paper: the steel tower and the concrete filled steel tower (CFT tower) which consists of a steel double box section filled with concrete. First, static analysis was conducted to clarify how different pattern of live load distributions affect the multi-span cable-stayed bridge. The live loads applied on alternate spans give the critical bending moments and displacements. Second, seismic analysis was conducted with two different towers due to the ultra-strong earthquake. Three longitudinal support conditions of the girder at the tower positions are considered: movable supports, linear spring supports and bi-linear spring supports. Response and bending moments of the towers are lowest with bi-linear support because seismic energy is dissipated. |
