In the conventional bridge, the movement of expansion or contraction due to temperature changes are generally accomodated by the expansion joint and beraing, so as not to cause movement ot the abutment. But on integral bridges, where there are no expansion joint and bearingresullted in expansion and contraction that causes tension in the abutment. The problem is the main issue on the integral b…
Cable-stayed bridge can experience large amplitude stay ascillations under certain conditions of combined traffic flow and rain-wind loads. Previous analyses of actual field test data have demonstrated that the abrupt shift in vibration modes can be associated with nonlinier chaotic behaviour. To investigate this effect, this study developed a highly realistic nonlinier finite element model usi…
