is it possible to analyse a suspension bridge in staad pro.?
if we can,how can i analyse "PUNALUR SUSPENSION BRIDGE", location -kerala,india
Hello Seth Guthrie.
I am having problems modeling and calculating a suspension bridge.
I am currently modeling a suspension bridge with a span diagram of 125m-400m-125m.
And, I have referenced how to calculate tension of main cable and hanger cable as instructed in Demo of RM Bridge V8, and I obtained a deflection of 2.2m. I realize that the cable tension at the edge of the cable is negative (meaning that the cable is compressed), I want to ask you if I should adjust the cable hanger's internal force to reflect the working nature of the rope bridge?, Of course, here I adjust the internal force according to the displacement control.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards.
