Abstract
Increasing the maximum span length for cable-stayed bridges has been always a challenging target. To overcome resections on maximum span length associated with the classical systems, a modified statical system should be considered. In this paper, a comparative analysis for a modified statical system is presented. The classical vertical pylons are replaced by pairs of inclined pylon legs (V-shaped) spreading out longitudinally and connected at the top by horizontal ties. Two different V-shaped systems are investigated. The effects of different cables configurations and numbers are considered. The results .ale compared with a classical fan-type cable- stayed bridge system, The numerical results indicate the feasibility of longer spans, since the modified statical system gives much less responses than the classical system.
