Abstract: |
Structural configuration of a cable-stayed suspension bridge with the main span length of 2,500m was analytically studied from aerodynamic stability point of view. Effects of cable-stayed section length, tower height and safety factor of cables were investigated. As a result, the lower tower height and smaller safety factors make the cable-stayed suspension bridge advantageous to the same scale suspension bridge in terms of the structural weight and flutter critical wind speed. |
