This paper presents a methodology to optimize the cable system in cable-stayed bridges by considering the accidental breakage of one cable. A multi-model optimization strategy is proposed, and design constraints are established on both the intact and damaged models. Impact loads are applied in the damaged models to account for the dynamic effect of cable breakage. The objective is to minimize the steel volume by varying cable anchor positions, number of cables, cross-sectional areas, and prestressing forces. The approach is applied to the Queensferry Crossing Bridge, resulting in a different layout with increased cables and smaller areas, while minimizing the penalty in steel volume.
This paper presents a methodology to optimize the cable system in cable-stayed bridges, whose main novelty is to take into account the accidental breakage of one cable within the design process. To this end, a multi-model optimization strategy is proposed by establishing design constraints on both the intact and damaged models. The dynamic effect of cable breakage is accounted for in the damaged models by the application of impact loads at the tower and deck anchorages. The objective function is to minimize the steel volume in the cable system by varying the cable anchor positions on the deck, the number of cables, the cross sectional areas and prestressing forces. This approach is applied to the Queensferry Crossing Bridge, the longest three-tower cable-stayed bridge in the world and also the largest with crossing cables in the central spans. The fail-safe optimization of the cable system leads to a different layout than the optimum design without considering cable breakage, with more cables and smaller areas, having a minimum penalty in steel volume.
