Suspension bridge deformation and internal forces under the concentrated live load: Analytical algorithm

Suspension bridge is a flexible structure, which responses to live loads are quite complicated due to the coupling of several factors. In this paper, an analytical algorithm is proposed for estimating the deformation and internal forces of earth-anchored suspension bridges under the concentrated live load. Based on the known parameters of the completed bridge and the live load, the deformation of the main cable, the deformation of the girder,...
