Fast and Optimized Calculation of the Cable Pretension Forces in Arch Bridges With Suspended Deck

This paper presents with an effective and fast approach to the optimization of the pretension forces in arched bridges with suspended deck, which makes use of the influence matrix method (IMM). The given cable-tensioning procedure leads to a linear system of equations with a reduced number of unknow...
