A New Multiconstraint Method for Determining the Optimal Cable Stresses in Cable-Stayed Bridges

Cable-stayed bridges are one of the most popular types of long-span bridges. The structural behaviour of cable-stayed bridges is sensitive to the load distribution between the girder, pylons, and cables. The determination of pretensioning cable stresses is critical in the cable-stayed bridge design...
