Preliminary design of cable-stayed bridges for vertical static loads
G. T. Michaltsos, J. C. Ermopoulos and T. G. Konstantakopoulos

 
Abstract
    This paper proposes a new method for the preliminary design of cable-stayed bridges that belong to the radial system subjected to static loads (self weight, traffic loads, concentrated loads, etc). The method is based on the determination of the each time existing relation between the tension forces of the cables and the corresponding bridge-deck deformations, and can be extended on any type of cable layout (fan, parallel, or mixed system).
