Effect of Vertical Component of Earthquake on Cable-stayed Bridges, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Maleki, Shervin (Supervisor)
Abstract
Cable stayed bridges have been used extensively in recent years for long span bridges up to 1000m. Although seismic behavior of these bridges has been researched in the last decade, however, the effect of vertical component of earthquake on cable-stayed bridges has not been studied before. In this thesis, the geometric nonlinear static analyses on dead loads followed by linear direct integration dynamic analyses have been used to study this effect. The results of analyses with three-component earthquakes are compared with two-component earthquakes. Fourteen models of cable-stayed bridges with different main span length, shape of pylons and the deck-pylon connection are employed. The errors...
