description | The cable-stayed suspension bridge is one type of bridge that has been increasingly applied to bridge engineering, especially in cross-sea projects. However, the complex combined system of this type of bridge makes it quite difficult for researchers to make a quick decision of the parameter values during the design stage. The Hellinger–Reissner method is applied here to analyze the deformation and force of the structural members in the bridge. The advantage of this method is that the solving of deformation and force is independent of each other, which would enhance the accuracy of the final results. Different load conditions are also considered in the analysis. The results from the present method are compared with test results and finite element analysis, and show good agreements. It implies that the Hellinger–Reissner is a comparatively more efficient method to help designers choose the key parameters for cable-stayed suspension bridges. |
