Place: Roorkee (Shivendra Kumar) Date: 30-06-2009 M.Tech Civil -II year (Structures) ABSTRACT Cable stayed bridges are very popular in European country and very large span cable stayed bridges are constructed there after 1950, But in India it is not that much popular and there are very few number of cable stayed bridges namely Hooghly river bridge, Akkar bridge and few other. This may be because of lack of standard design, procedure and technique In India cable stayed bridges are considered to be highly indeterminate structure whose design is not possible without using software and only few firms are able to construct this type of bridge. The design procedure and technique are not readily available in standard text book and bridge codes. In my thesis work | tried to develop an easy manual method to calculate bending moment in longitudinal girder, cable forces, bending moment and compressive force in tower and this leads to method of influence lines. In which symmetry of bridges are chosen and a part of symmetrical portion were modeled as planar in which cable connections were replace by roller supports . To find bending moment in girder Three moment's equation were used to draw ILD for bending moment at critical sections. To find cable forces simple static equation were used and with help of cable forces bending moment and compressive force in tower were easily calculated. In my thesis work to check the validity of manual result | modeled same structure in SAP2000 and result was compared and manually calculated values appears to be correct. After getting all design values an emphasis was given to design different component of cable stayed bridge. At last it was attempted to do economic evaluation cable stayed bridge against prestressed bridge of same span. Following are the work that got emphasis in my thesis L.

INTRODUCTION 2.1 General After advent of new technology and materials engineers are aiming for even longer span bridges. Cable-stayed bridges are becoming very popular, and replacing the suspension bridges. Very large spans have been built, as for example - Tartara, Hiroshima, Japan 2919 feet (890m), Pont de normandie, France 2808 feet (855m), Quingzhou minjang China, 1988 feet (606m). The concept of supporting a bridge deck by inclined tension stays can be traced back to the seventeenth century but rapid progress in the analysis and construction of cable stayed bridges has been made over the last half century. The rapid progress of this kind of bridges is mainly due to the development of new technology and high strength steel, cables, orthotropic steel decks and construction technology. Because of its aesthetic appeal, economic grounds and the ease of erection, the cable-stayed bridge is considered as most suitable for medium to long span bridges with spans ranging from 200 to 100m. While a full steel truss bridge would require considerably more material, Because of nonlinear behaviors, the analysis of cable stayed bridges is much more complicated than that of conventional bridges, such as a steel truss Girder Bridge. During the last two decades cable stayed bridges have found wide applications, especially in Western Europe and to a limited extent in other parts of the world. Cable stayed bridges were developed in Germany mainly to obtain optimum structural performance from material like steel which was in short supply during the post war years, 2.2 ABRIEF HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT ‘The historical development occupies an important place in understanding the characteristics and behavior of cable stayed bridges. In this section only the more striking aspects of development of such structures are presented. The oldest attempt at a cable stayed bridge dates back to 1784 when a German carpenter, C. T. Loescher, designed a structure entirely in timber. However, the first actual bridge structures were of hybrid design — part 2jPage suspension, part stayed. They were built in the United States and in England at the end of the 18th century. During this time, J. Roebling, in the United States, was using a system based on steel wires to replace the suspension chains. In 1855 he built 2 daring structure downstream of the Niagara Falls, with a single span of 280 m. The two decks, one above the other, were supported by parabolic cables and by the inclined stays used in its con- struction, The lower deck carried carriages and pedestrians whilst the upper deck carried a railway. A test on the completed structure showed that its deflection under a train of loaded ‘wagons did not exceed 0.25 m, or less than 1/1000 of the span. It is evident that the great stiffness of this two-level deck certainly contributed to the limiting the deformations. In 1883 there took place the building of the most note-worthy structure of this era - the famous Brooklyn Bridge in New York. Also designed by J. Roebling, using the same principles as for the Niagara Bridge, the work was completed by his son, W. Roebling. This bridge, with a central span of 486,50 m and a total length of 1059.90 m, is the first major structure in which steel replaced iron. The strength of steel is almost twice as high as that of materials used previously. In the meantime, in 1872, Ordish and Le'Fleuve built the Albert Bridge over River ‘Thames. With a main span of 122 m, the deck is notable for the fact that it is sufficiently rigid to allow the stays to be attached at points reasonably far apart; these stays are made up of rolled steel bars. An identical system was used by the same designers for the Franz- Joseph Bridge, over the Moldau in Prague, where the main span was 100 m and the width 9.76m, Towards the end of the 19th century, the success of these hybrid structures - part suspension and part stayed - resulted in a slowing down of the use of structures supported exclusively by inclined rods. It was not until 1899 that the French engineer A. Gisclard further advanced the development of stayed bridges by the introduc hangers, at the same time economic and sufficiently rigid. This system was characterized by the addition of cables intended to take up the horizontal components of the forces set up by 1 of a new system of the stays. This arrangement cancels out any compressive forces in the deck particularly effective in railway bridges, in spite of their debatable architectural impact. The bridge at Cassagne, one of the notable works of A. Gisclard, was subjected to a test load consisting of a train weighing 192 t. The maximum observed deformation was less than 1/1000 of the span, or 0 -148mm.in the span of 30m. 3]Page” In 1938, F. Dischinger introduced inclined, prestressed stays into the design of a railway suspension bridge over the Elbe, near Hamburg. He proposed the use of high strength stec! cables, working at high stress under the self-weight of the structure, with the aim of reducing the deformability of the suspension bridge. In 1952, the city of Dusseldorf, under the control of its architect F. Tamms, planned the erection of three elegant cable stayed bridges and imposed, in the specification, severe architectural and technical requirements These structures have a steel deck supported by a limited number of stays set out in the harp pattern. They are the Theodor Heuss Bridge, the Kniebridge and the Oberkassel Bridge. In the same period, numerous pedestrian footbridges were constructed in urban areas, thanks to their new architectural effect. The carliest of these, such as the Schiller-Steg footbridge in Stuttgart, nevertheless reveal the great sensitivity of these light structures to the vibration of pedestrian traffic. The stays of the latter bridge are formed, for the first time, using cables of parallel wires. The inreasing popularity of this new type of structure with German engineers slowly extended to other countries. Thus, the Italian architect and engineer R. Morandi designed several cable stayed bridges with reinforced and pre-stressed concrete deck, His most outstanding work is the bridge on Lake Maracaibo, in Venezuela, built in 1962. Today, Cable stayed structures are being built with ever-increasing spans and ever more notable architectural effect. Several bridges with a central span of the order of 500 m to 900m have been constructed or are under construction. Of cable stayed bridges was marked in 1967 by H. Homberg, who designed the Friedrich Bbert Bridge in Bonn, with an axial suspension consisting of multiple stays. The use of multiple stays in a single plane was imposed for aesthetic reasons. 2.3 STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS Cable-stayed bridges deck can be constructed along a structural system, which comprises an orthotropic deck and continuous girders, which are supported by stays i.e, inclined cables passing over or attached to towers located at the main piers. Modem cable-stayed bridges present a three-dimensional structural system consisting of stiffening girders, transverse and longitudinal bracings, orthotropic-type deck and supporting parts such as towers in compression and inclined cables in tension. A multiple-stay bridge is a highly redundant system, The paths of the forces are dictated to a great extent by the relative stiffness of the load-bearing elements the stays, pylons and deck. Depending on the arrangement of longitudinal stay cables, the cable-stayed bridges can be divided into four basi systems. 1. Harp system 2. Fan system 3, Semi 4, Asymmetric system arp system Harp system: Fig - (a) Fan system:~ ‘Semi —Harp system Fig(c) Asymmetric system Fig (d) With respect to the various positions in space, which may be adopted for planes in which cable-stays are disposed, there are two basic arrangements: - 1, Two plane system: 6 {Page Fig(@) Fig) Single plane system:- Fig (g) Single plane system with cantilevering deck Fig (h) The various possible types of tower construction are: - i, Trapezoidal portal frames B|Page ii. Twin towers iii, A-ftames iv. Single towers ‘OTREPEZODAL corwn Towers. Fig @ Most cable-stayed bridges have orthotropic decks, which differ from one another only as far as the cross sections of the longitudinal ribs and the spacing of the cross-girders depending upon physical constraints, The deck may be made of different materials such as steel, concrete or prestressed concrete. The cable-stays are usually are of the following types: i, Parallel-bar cables, ii, Parallel-wire cables, . Stranded cables, iv. Locked-coil cables, 91 Page The choice of any of these differ in their mechanical properties required (modulus of clasticity, ultimate tensile strength, durability etc.) as well as on structural and economic criteria (erection and design of the anchorages).

For each of these connections numerous devices exist depending upon configuration of deck and tower as well as of the cable, Exemplary, some arrangement for tower and deck are shown below:- Fig2.3 Devices for cable anchorage at tower [Page Fig 2.4 Devices for cable anchorage at deck. 2.3.2Stiffening girder:- The role of stiffening girder is to transfer loads self weight as well as traffic load to cables. Cable stayed bridge has to resist considerable axial compression beside the vertical bending moments. These compression forces are developed by inclined cable stays. The girder can be either of steel or concrete for small span concrete girder are used and for longer span steel. The shape of stiffening girder depends upon nature of Joad it has to transfer. In the design of long span cable stayed bridge acrodynamic consideration can govern design. There are three types of girder cross sections used for cable stayed bridges: 1. Longitudinal edge beams, 2. Box girder, 3. Truss, Following are some stiffening girder used in existing bridges:- 12[Page pore rn yeni ce zien bebe orem °) Fig 2.5 Girder cross sections:- a)simple beam arrangement( Knie bridge, Germany), b) Box section(Oberkasseler bridge Germany), c)Truss(Oresund bridge, Sweden) 2.3,3Tower:- The function of tower is to support cable system and to transfer its load to foundation. They are subjected to high axial forces and bending moment may also be 1B \ Page present, Tower can be made of steel or concrete. Concrete towers are cheaper than equivalent steel tower and posse’s high stiffness, Some of the tower used in cable stayed bridges: Fig2.6 Tower configuration, H, A and Y 2.4 Influence of Number of Cable Stays:- Some bridges have relatively few cable-stays while others may have many stays intersecting the deck such that the cables provide a continuous elastic supporting system. When only a few cables support the deck structure, cable forces would be large, which requires massive and complicated anchorage systems connecting to the pylon and superstructure, The connections become source of heavy concentrated loads requiring additional reinforcement of webs, flanges, and stiffeners to transfer the loads to the bridge girders and distribute them uniformly throughout the deck system. A large number of cables simplifies the cable anchorages to the bridge girders and distributes the forces more uniformly throughout the deck structure without major reinforcements to the girders and floor beams. Therefore a large 14|Page number of cables can provide continuous support, thus permitting the use of a shallow depth girder. 2.5. Influence of Cable layout:-Cable layout significantly influences the axial compression and bending moments in deck as well as in pylon. Hence an optimum angle of cable is 45 measuring clockwise and may vary between 25-65 .A stecper angle of inclination of the cables reduces the axial compression in the deck but doesn’t alter the maximum bending moment in pylon, The fan type of arrangement, the cables converge at the top of the pylon with the cables having the maximum angle of inclination to the bridge girders. As the cables in fan layout are in an optimum position to support the gravity dead and live loads and simultaneously produce a smaller compressive force in deck than that in case of other layouts. The harp system with cables connections distributed throughout the height of pylon results in an efficient pylon design compared to the fan system, which has all the cables attached to the top of pylon, For fan arrangement, the concentrated load at the top of the pylon produces large shears and moments along the entire height of the pylon, thus’ increasing the cost. Also it adds difficulties in anchoring the cables to the pylon. The semi- harp arrangement represents a compromise between the extremes of the harp and fan systems and is especially useful when it becomes difficult to accommodate all the cables at the top of the pylon. 2.6. Height of pylon: - The height of the tower is determined from several considerations, such as the relation of tower height to span length, the type of cable arrangement, and the general aesthetic proportions of all the spans and towers visualized as an entity. 2.7 Influence of cable stay spacing:-The cable stays support the deck and smaller spacing, of cable stays along the deck will lead to economy by reducing the B.M and S.F in the deck ‘and weight of deck segment in construction. Smaller spacing will inerease the number of, cables (but of smaller diameter) their anchorage, and possibly the number of cross beams. 15) Page 2.8. Influence of deck inertia: The maximum moments in the deck increase considerably with the increase of deck inertia, So, high inertia of deck system is not favorable as it attracts considerable bending moments without appreciably reducing the forces in pylons and cables. 2.9, Advantages of cable stayed bridge:- L.A great advantage of the cable-stayed bridge is that it is essentially made of cantilevers, and can be constructed by building out from the towers, 2. In a cable stayed bridge cables are anchored to the deck and at the tower Whereas which are quite expe: a suspension bridge cables are anchored in massive anchor blocks, e. 3. The main girders can be very shallow with respect to the span. ‘They are more econor to the literature till date. I for spans ranging from 200 m to 1600 m according 5, The horizontal component of the stay force, which causes compression in deck, favors a conetete deck structure, This stay force component is utilized to prestress the concrete, 6. Erection of the superstructure and the stays are relatively easier with technology of prestressing, prefabrication, and segmental construction procedure. 7. They have charming aesthetics. 8. Cables are of small diameter as compared fo suspension bridges. The towers are taller, however. 161 Page 9. It is geometrically unchangeable under any load position on the bridge and cable is always in state of tension. 10. The important characteristics of this bridge are that full participation of transverse structural part in work of the main structure in longitudinal direction. This means considerable increase in moment of inertia in of construction, which permits a reduction of depth of girders and consequent saving in steel. 1. Horizontal component of the tensio is taken by longitudinal girder hence there is ‘no massive anchorage is required in most of cases. 12. The horizontal components of the cable forces produce some sort of prestressing effect in deck whether orthotropic steel deck or reinforced concrete deck and therefore, increase the load carrying capacity 2.10 Important cable stayed bridges:- Tatara Bridge:-It has the largest span of any cable-stayed bridge at 890 meters (2.290 ft), part of a series of bridges connecting Honshu and Shikoku in Japan.

Oresund Bridge: - the Oresund Bridge will connect Denmark and Sweden through sea. It cost around 1.3 billion pound, Some important cable stayed bridges: Fig2.7. Tatara Bridge Japan 18) Page Fig2.9 Normandie Bridge, France 19[Page Fig2.11 Vidyasagar Setu Bridge, Hooghly 20| Page 3 ANALYSIS OF CABLE STAYED BRIDGE ‘The major work of the structural analysis of the whole cable-stayed bridge consists of the initial shape analysis, static deflection analysis and dynamic response analysis, etc. Based on the determined “correct” initial shape, a meaningful static and dynamic analysis of cable-stayed bridges can then be performed. The work in this study is focused on the initial shape (shape finding) analysis to find the geometric configuration and preforce in members of cable-stayed bridges. The analysis can be performed in two different ways: one is a linear computation procedure (linear theory) and the other is a nonlinear computation procedure (nonlinear theory). The initial shape of a cable-stayed bridge provides the geometric configuration as well as the prestress distribution of the bridge under the action of the dead load of girders and towers and the pretension force in inclined cable stays. The relations for the equilibrium conditions, the specified boundary conditions, and the requirements of the architectural design should be satisfied. For shape finding computation, the dead load of girders and towers is taken into account and the dead load of cables is neglected, but cable sag nonlinearity induced by cable dead load is included. The computation for shape finding is performed by using the two loop iteration method, i.c., equilibrium iteration loop and shape iteration loop, and can be started with an estimated tension force in inclined cables, Based on a reference configuration (the architectural designed form) with no deflection and zero prestress in girders and towers, the equilibrium position of the cable-stayed bridges under the action of dead load is first determined, where the equilibrium iteration will be carried out if the nonlinear computation procedure is used. Although this first determined configuration requirements architectural design are, in general, not fulfilied. Satisfies the equilibrium conditions and the boundary conditions, the off since the bridge span is large and no pretension forces exist in inclined cables, quite large deflections and huge bending moments may appear in the girders and towers. Another iteration has to be carried out in order to reduce the deflections and to smooth the bending moments in the girder, and finally to find the correct initial shape. So iteration procedure is named the shape iteration”. For shape iteration, the element axial forces determined in the previous step will be taken as the initial element forces for the next 2|Page 3.1.1. Erection by the cantilever method- ‘The ease of erection is one of the main reasons for the success of cable-stayed bridges over the last half century because of their self-anchored cable systems, ‘The cantilever method has been widely used for the girder erection of cable-stayed bridges. The cantilever method is considered as the natural and logical solution for constructing the cable-stayed bridges of large span, where new girder segments are installed and then supported by new cable stays in each erection stage, and the construction process keeps going stage-by-stage until the bridge is completed. Since no auxiliary supports are needed for constructing the bridge girder in the cantilever method, a lot of construction cost and time can be saved. There are two basic alternates in the cantilever method. One is named herein the single cantilever method and the other is the double cantilever method. In the former the side span girders of the bridge are erected on auxiliary piers and afterwards the stiffening girder in main span is erected by one-sided free cantilevering until the span centre or the anchor pier on the far end is reached. Where new girder segments are installed and then supported by new cable stays in each erection stage, and the construction process keeps going stage-by-stage until the bridge is completed. Steps involved in ere 1n by cantilever process are as follow:~ Stage 1. The Pylons are erected, Stage 2. The first pair of girder segments B1 is installed. Stage 3. The stayed cables C1 are installed and stressed initially to elevate the girders and relieve their bending moments. Stage 4. The pair of girder segments B2 is installed. Stage 5. The stayed cables C2 are installed and stressed. Stage 6. The girder segments B3 are installed, Stage 7. The stayed cables C3 are installed and stressed. Stage 8. Girder segments B4 is installed and the bridge is closed at the main span centre, 2alPage iteration and the equilibrium configuration under the action of dead load and such initial forces will be determined anew. "The procedure of shape finding analysis of cable stayed bridges is briefly summarized in the following ways:- 1. Input the geometric and physical data of the bridge, Input the dead load of Input the reference configuration (designed shape) of the bridge. fers and towers. Input suitably estimated initial forces in cable stays to start the comput Find equilibrium position. 2 3 4 5. Shape finding analysis can be done in following ways: l 2 3. 4, 5 Shape finding analysis during erection procedures. Forward process analysis (FPA). Backward process analysis (BPA). Linear analysis Force equilibrium method. Shape finding analysis during erection procedures- For constructing the bridge and predicting the structural behaviors of the bridge during its erection procedures, the geometric configuration and preforce in members of the bridge structure at cach erection stage have to be known and examined in details. The aim of this seminar is to find shape of cable stayed bridge at each erection stage systematically. 3.1.1.

Forward process analysis (FPA):- ‘The forward process analysis of cable-stayed bridges during construction is performed by following the sequence of erection stages in bridge construction. The element model of the harp cable-stayed bridge at different erection stages is shown in Fig. in which the nodal and clement numbering of the symmetric harp cable-stayed bridge at each erection stages are given. In the figure 3.1, where NU=the number of degrees of freedom, NE= number of elements, NJ=number of nodes, and ISB=semi-bandwidth of the system stiffness matrix. There are three system displacements at each node in the plane model of cable-stayed bridges, one rotation and two translation displacements. The computation of the forward process analysis is first started from the single pylon at stage 1 as shown in Fig3.1 and then continued at stages 2, 3,... stage-by-stage, until stage 8, where the bridge is closed at the main span centre and the analysis of the bridge during girder construction is completed. In each stage the geometric configuration and intemal forces of members of the bridge structure will be determined. At erection stages of even number (2, 4, 6) only the new girder segments are installed and the exterior stayed cables are not yet in place. Relatively large vertical displacements and bending moments of the girder may appear. At erection stages of odd number (3, 5, 7) the new exterior stayed cables are installed at the tip of the new girder segments and then stressed to lift up the girders to certain elevation in order to relieve the bending moment in girders and to keep the bridge girder in desired correct position. The stressing force needed in cables and the girder elevation have to be determined at each erection stage by the shape finding procedure described in the previous section. In the forward process analysis, shape iteration has to be done in order to keep the stiffening girder in horizontal position (an upward precamber is allowed). Since the cables will be stressed after new girder segments and stayed cables are installed at the stage of odd number, an initial estimated force in cables is needed to start the shape iteration computation. 21 Page Chaya che genmenes und phy sto dics ef he beige atopur che retrence comtrneten ef me bedae, Bane. tape area AL wie nega areceixe ems giafercegmency te = aver} seta etd scregs cates Ok mente > al) VE acmae oats] Sees NULNE_ MISE | 2 reams maourpar ten ae soda eccalmaa: (*,¥" Jond etenene comes §,¢ fut of BO - oor Fig3.2._Flow chart showing forward process analysis during construction. 2 Page 3.3. Backward process analysis:-In contrast to the forward process analysis, the backward process analysis of cable-stayed bridges during construction is carried out by following the direction reversed to the sequence of erection stages in the bridge construction. The is started with the completed whole cable- n of the backward process analys comput: stayed bridge (stage k “8 as shown in Fig.) by releasing one or one pair of girder segments at the main span centre or on the far end of anchor piers. After releasing girder segments the bridge is then remodeled and reanalyzed under the action of dead load and the internal force of members determined in the previous stage in order (0 find the new initial shape which provides the geometric configuration and member forces of the bridge structure at the new (current) stage. Stage-by-stage, the girder segments and adjoining stayed cables are released, and the analysis model is rebuilt and the computation is continued repeatedly until the final stage is reached. In the backward process analysis, the initial shape (the geometric configuration and member forces) of the whole cable-stayed bridge has to be found first by using the shape finding procedure After releasing girder segments and cable stays, the configuration and member forces of the bridge structure are determined anew at each stage d by solving the static system equation. When the nonlinear theory is used, the line system equation is used and the equilibrium iteration with Newton-Raphson approach is performed. An example illustrating computation procedure of the backward process analysis, the computation process is briefly summarized as follows: 1, Stage k=7 After finding the shape of the bridge structure at stage k = 7, the geometric configuration and the initial force in all members are known. 2. Stage k-6 (i) Remodeling the analysis model based on the determined structural shape at stage (k =7, the exterior cables of number 15, 16 are released. The analysis model of the bridge structure at stage k = 6 is rebuilt as shown in Fig,, with NLK33, NE=14, NJ=11, ISB=18. (ii) Find the equilibrium position. The equilibrium position of the bridge structure at stage k =6 is determined anew under the action of dead load of girders and towers, and the internal forces in members obtained in the previous stage k =7. The newly determined equilibrium 27iPage. position offers the geometric configuration and member forces of the bridge structure at the new stage k =6. Equilibrium iteration is carried out when the nonlinear theory is used. (ii) No shape iteration is required. (3) 3. Stage K=S (@ Remodeling the analysis model based on the determined structural shape at stage k = 6, the exterior girder segments of number 13, 14 are then released and The analysis model for stage k =5 is rebuilt as shown in Fig3.1. The model has NU=27, NE=12, NJ=9, ISB=18, is (ii) Find the equilibrium position similarly, the shape of the bridge structure at stage k =: determined again under the action of dead load and the internal forces of members provided by the structure at the previous stage k ~ 6, Similarly, equilibrium iteration is carried out when the nonlinear theory is used, (jii) No shape iteration is required. (4) Repeatedly continue the computation for the next stage until the final stage (k =1) is reached, The flow chart of the backward process analysis is given in figure below. The advantage of the backward process Analysis is that no shape iteration is required at each erection stage =k ion the shape at each stage determined by the equilibrium condition is the desired correct p of the bridge for the next erection stage. In which the girder is precambered upwards the disadvantage of this method is ‘That the real time factor of bridge during construction, such as creep shrinkage of concrete as well as any used .the linearised system equation is used and the alteration in design. 28\Page “agut the gro mmetric and physicul dase of the bridge inp the reference oanfiguaatian af the rid # shape finding afthe whale extleatayed tridge BO LOOP = Kypgikigg “lel ine of exectian wage! st eection sage | + rletse yinder sewrems a celese exterior oalenays & @ inpundead lord af metcbers + input the nodal coordinates OF.

For this we use typical influence lines and their areas. It may be there for reasonable to determine approximately the cable stay forces in main span to assume live load acts on main span only .Also the forces in these cable stays from dead load will be determined assuming that this loading is located along main span. This is because that the area of influence lines at the side span is relatively small or large, but has different sign. 3.4.3. Bending moment in stiffening girder:- If the girder has a constant cross -section, then this section should be chosen according to the bending moment in the mid span, because the influence line has maximum area there, Therefore, the placement of the live load along the main span results in the maximum effect or almost all the structural system considered here. Also the dead load should be used along the main span only. In this case only cable forces will be obtained, with relatively large error. 3.4.4, Influence of the panel length:- At small change in panel lengths the angles of inclination of the separate cable stays and their cross- section change a little. Apparently, the most advantageous arrangement is when bending moments in the main span of stiffening girders are distributed uniformly along the span. Comparison of the bending moment diagram indicates that at equal panels, the maximum moment occur at middle panel. With increase of middle panel, the locations having the maximum moment do not change, but the bending moment increases from M=0.007gF to 0.0125g. Ifthe middle panel is decreased, the bending moment in middle of the adjoining panel is given by span also decreases. And the maximum moment is locate at[ Page M=0.0105gI, Therefore, this bending moment is substantially greater than in case of panels of the same length where g is acceleration due to gravity and | is distance between stays. For preliminary design itis itis possible for a cable system with five equal panel use formula Mmax~0.007g/* and for seven panels Mmax= 0.006g); 3.5. Force equilibrium method:- In the force equilibrium method, the cable-stayed bridge is modeled as a planar structure. The method works on an evolving substructure eventually comprising the bridge deck and towers, and searches for a set of cable forces which will give rise to dk selected locations of the substructure. As the method works only on the equilibrium forces rather than deformation, there is no need to deal with non-linearity caused by cable sag and other effects. This method is therefore computationally efficient .First of all, certain sections of the bridge deck and tower are chosen as control sections where the bending moments are adjusted by varying the cable forces. Consider a typical single tower cable-stayed bridge, as shown in Fig3.4. In which the connection between the bridge deck and tower is monolithic. ble bending moments at To establish the design bending moments, only the bridge deck is considered. All supports from the cables and tower are replaced by rigid simple supports, as shown in Fig3.5. This is regarded as the Stage 1 model for the sake of subsequent discus- scions. The prestressing to be applied during construction is also taken into account, The bending moments caused by dead load in the bridge deck under such modified sup- port conditions are then taken to be the design bending moments. It is noted that the prestressing to be introduced after the completion of the bridge deck is not taken into account here. These design bending moments are adopted because the effects of creep and shrinkage of concrete tend to change the bending, moments towards these target values in the long term anyway if the initial bending moments, in the towers can be controlled at the same time; the scheme of initial cable forces is reason- ably stable. It is further assumed here that factors such as the deference in age among deck segments are insignificant in the long term and therefore they are neglected.

Idealization of the structure Model simulation of a structure consists of idealizing it as a system of appropriate members, which allow its behavior to be analyzed with sufficient accuracy and with a reasonable amount of calculation. Depending on the complexity of the structure and the stage of the systems, covering the design, different models may be used. These may be plane or sp: whole structure or only a part, and can comprise of a wide range of members. The pylons generally can be represented by beam column elements. The same can be said of the deck if this actually behaves like beam, The cables can be represented by bars by assigning them a very small bending inertia and an idealized modulus of elasticity, which makes it possible to take into account the effects of cable sag. In this mode! the cables are sufficiently tensioned under permanent loads. Thus any compression, which is likely to arise under live loads, ial tension (Walther, 1988). results only in a reduction of ‘The behavior of cable-stayed bridges under the action of live loads is difficult to predict by means of simple intuitive methods. Thus, it is advantageous during the initial design stages to model the cable-stayed bridges as plane frames. Final dimensioning can also be done on the basis of a plane frame model in case of structures where pylons experience no transverse bending under dead weight plus live loads due to traffic (Walther, 1988). 3.7.1, Idealization by force equilibrium method:~ In the force equilibrium method, the cable-stayed bridge is modeled as a planar structure, The method works on an evolving substructure eventually comprising the bridge deck and towers, and searches for a set of cable forces which will give rise to desirable bending moments at selected locations of the substructure, As the method works only on the equilibrium of forces rather than deformation, there is no need to deal with non-linearity caused by cable sag and other effects. The method is therefore computationally efficient. Let us consider the following cable stayed bridge, which has single tower and multiple cable connections, these cable connections are treated as control section and cable stayed bridge can be modeled as a planar structure. 35|Page Above given cable stayed bridge can be modeled as planar structure by replacing each support and connection as simple support as given below:~ SIT TTR AT EOP eee OD Here cable connections are replaced by simple rigid supports and deflection at these control sections are considered as zero. This method is suitable for cable stayed bridges which do not have significant gradient along longitudinal direction For analyzing the tower the cables are replaced by tensile forces given as below ‘36 Page IN By considering cable as tensile forces we can find moment in tower as well as compression ‘in tower. 3.7.2. Steps involved in analysis of cable stayed bridge:- Analysis of cable stayed bridge can be done by many methods but here we consider most conventional method of analysis as influence line diagram method. In this method we first consider cable stayed bridge as a planar structure as in force equilibrium method. After that all cable connections are replaced by roller supports and vertical deflection at these control sections are considered as zero. Following are the steps involved in analysis of cable stayed bridges by influence line diagram method:- + First choose symmetricity of cable stayed bridge + Consider one of symmetric section of bridge. 37 | Page + Model it as planner structure as force equilibrium method. + Replace cable connections by roller supports. + Consider supports as control section as displacement at these points in vertical direction is zero, + By using any method draw influence line diagram for bending moment and reaction at roller support. + By reaction at control section we can find force in cable by resolving it in vertical directions. + By thus knowing cable forces we can find bending moment, shear force and compressive force in tower. Here by considering above example we will analyze different parts of a cable stayed bridge by force equilibrium method and influence line diagram method, For drawing influence line diagram methods of three moment's equation is used. The symmetric part of cable stayed bridge that is going to be analyzed is shown:~ Fig3.7 the section considered for analysis of cable stayed bridge ‘The above cable stayed bridge can be analyzed by replacing cable as control section and control section can be assigned as roller support. This can be done as follow:- 39|Page AB c oD ¢ F G H I SERRE RERD bbe Ag a Fig3.8 dimension of section considered For above given simple structure we can apply three moment's equation to draw influence line diagram for moment at A, B,C, D, E, F, G, H, and [in this analysis deck beam is assumed to be uniform.

For anchorage design FEM analysis is to be carried out and stress concentration at critical zone is to be finding out, ‘A clear example of anchorage design and detailing as to be shown as below:- 1.621 RIZONTAL 422 Fig 5.6 detailing of typical anchorage zone 6 Economical evaluation of cable stayed bridge. —_— The main objective of the economic evaluation is to carry out calculation for material used in cable stayed bridge and compare it with standard design with prestressed bridge. For that 40m span of cable stayed bridge without footpath is considered and from standard design of prestressed bridge material used were calculated .and these calculated value were compared against each other to get actual feeling that which types of bridge is cheaper. If cable stayed bridge is economical then it can be used as economical system in urban area in place of prestressed bridges. For comparing the material following component were used for both types of bridges:~ 1. Pier 2. Deck 3. Longitudinal girder 4. Cross girder 5. Cable Bearing 7. Tower 6.1, Pier: - Pier cost of prestressed bridge and cable stayed bridge is almost same and it noted that pier of cable stayed bridge carry large moment compare to prestressed bridge so that there were no need to do evaluation against pier of both the bridges. 6.2 Deck:- 6.3. Longitudinal girder: - for 40m span prestressed bridge with 7.5 m width no of longitudinal girder used is equal to 3 and have dimension 800mm*1500mm. but in case of cable stayed bridge only 2 no of longitudinal girder with dimension 500mm*800mm is sufficient. So saving in concrete is equal to = 3*40*,8*1,5-2*40*.8*.5 =144-32= 112m> Saving in steel used as calculated by scheduling of standard bridge:- For prestressed bridge steel used in girder=26093 Kg For cable stayed bridge: - (2*20*.785*16°"40/10° + 2*(.208)]*7840= 3266Kg, So saving in steel is equal to~ 22827Kg 6.4, Cross- girder: - cross girder for prestressed bridge and cable stayed bridge is almost same. 6.5. Cable:-for prestessed bridge of 40m span total length of cable used were calculated using standard design as:- 4 (20.4 10)+44(20.421)+2*(20.470)+2*(20.519)+2*(20.539)+2*(20.517)=327m Generally 27 no of 7mm standard strand is used as cable in prestressed bridge so volume of cable used in prestressed bridge = (.785*49*27*327)/10° = 339 m? For cable stayed bridge = oof = 40m~—as_— designed ~— length of cable=2*(2*23.32+2* 18.60+2* 14.14+2*10.29)= 265.4m so volume of cable used as maximum= (.785*49*(93.28*21+74.4#27+56,56*2244 1.16*18)/10°=.229 mv? So saving in cable= 110 m* 6.6.Tower:- _cost of tower will be extra as compared to prestressed bridge so extra concrete used to be calculated as = 2*1.4*12*2=67.2 m’ Extra steel used will be as = 2*(100*.785* 1024*12)/10°+1370K g=15804.6Kg. Saving in concrete =308- (67.2+32+30.6+60) =189 m? Saving in steel =7022Kg Extra cable used ~.110 m? and despite of this 10%extra cost will be involved in prestressed bridge for bearing, So cable stayed bridge appears to be economical compared to prestressed bridge. 92| Page Conclusions Following are the conclusions after completion of study:~ 1 2, 6. Cable forces calculated by influence line method and SAP2000 are almost same. Due to interaction of cross- girder and deck slab moment calculated by SAP2000 is less as compared to moment calculated for girder by using influence line method. reliable, Influence tine method for preliminary design Influence line method for preliminary design gives significant error when elevation along longitudinal direction changes. Influence line method is very much understandable and easy to incorporate, MS-EXCEL is required to do large calculation work. Influence line method may be useful for different types of continuous bridges. Economical evaluation reveals that cable stayed bridge is may be good substitute for prestressed bridge. 7.4 Scope of future work: 1, A computer program can be written for analysis of different span of cable stayed bridges by following this technique. 2. Detailed comparison of this method can be done by available design of cable stayed bridges. 3. Some other type of bridges can be designed by following this method. 4. A longer span cable stayed bridge can be designed by using this technique. L elevation of ‘This method authenticity can be checked for varying longi bridges. 6. ‘There is a chance to search other manual method to design cable stayed bridge. 93 (Page 8 References 1.
