| Abstract |
This study proposes the optimal ratio of vertical load-carrying capacity (β) by investigating structural performances and economic efficiency in the extradosed bridges. Without design standards for the extradosed bridge, Japanese design standards have been used domestically. For the design live load, DL24 is found to be more adequate than D824. Using the DL24 load, parameter studies are carried out. The parameters are "main tower height", "main girder stiffness", and "cable arrangement". As a result, it is found that one side cable-stayed extradosed bridges are more economical than double side cable-stayed extradosed bridges. This study also shows that when the ratio of vertical load-carrying capacity(β) is 30~50% in the extradosed bridge with the ratio of tower height to main span length 1/6, the extradosed bridge is most economical because of the cable stress less than the allowable stress. |
