Train-Bridge Dynamic Behaviour of Long-Span Asymmetrical-Stiffness Cable-Stayed Bridge

Long-span cable-stayed bridge (LCB) with unequal-height towers is being designed and constructed in metro lines due to its better adaptability to environment and terrain conditions compared to traditional cable-stayed bridge with equal-height towers. However, the asymmetrical arrangement of towers l...

Train-Bridge Dynamic Behaviour of Long-Span Asymmetrical-Stiffness Cable-Stayed Bridge
description Long-span cable-stayed bridge (LCB) with unequal-height towers is being designed and constructed in metro lines due to its better adaptability to environment and terrain conditions compared to traditional cable-stayed bridge with equal-height towers. However, the asymmetrical arrangement of towers leads to obvious nonuniformity of the structural stiffness along the longitudinal direction, which intensifies the wheel-rail coupled vibration behaviour, and affects the running safety of operating trains and ride comfort.
