RESPONSE OF CABLE STAYED BRIDGES TO STATIC AND DYNAMIC LOADS
The static and dynamic response of cable stayed bridges is discussed. Several sources of nonlinear behavior are considered. Analyses of a number of different bridge geometries has shown that a cable stayed bridge can be analyzed as a linear system under the action of static and dynamic live loads. Nonlinear behavior should be considered, however, in computing the stiffness of the structure in the dead load deformed position. (Author)
