Improved algorithm for determining cable saddle pre-offsets considering the coupling effect of tower and splay saddles

Abstract By analysing the mechanical and geometrical relations between the main cable, tower, and splay saddles, and considering the coupling effect of the tower and splay saddles, an improved algorithm is proposed to determine the cable saddles pre-offsets of suspension bridges. The equilibrium rel...
