As the demand and construction of cable-stayed bridges have increased, research on the safety of cable-stayed bridges in the event of natural disasters such as fires and explosions is actively being conducted. This study evaluates the usability of the cable-stayed bridge in the event of cable damage and assesses its seismic performance and the impact of the damage through numerical analysis.
As the demand and construction of cable-stayed bridges have increased, research on the safety of cable-stayed bridges in the event of natural disasters such as fires and explosions is actively being conducted. If a cable-stayed bridge is damaged by an unexpected natural disaster or accident, it can cause serious traffic congestion and huge economic losses. This study evaluates the usability of the cable-stayed bridge in the event of cable damage. Additionally, seismic performance and the impact of the damage are evaluated by numerical analysis. To achieve this goal, the cable-stayed bridge is modeled using 3D BEAM elements and two-node cable elements. Then, the impact of the damage was evaluated by gradually damaging the cable. The deflection, axial force of the girder, and cable stress changes under far-field ground motion (El-Centro earthquake) were reviewed. A representative dynamic analysis program LS-DYNA was utilized for the numerical analyses. The results show that the loss of a small number of cables does not affect the usability of the bridge. However, if five or more cables are continuously lost, or if an earthquake occurs when cables are already lost, excessive deflections and changes in the girders' axial forces can cause usability problems.
