The theoretical and experimental investigation of a cable-stayed bridge after major repair is described in this paper. Strengthening mainly involved the suspension system (originally with prestressed concrete stays) which was retrofitted by means of external tendons. Full-scale tests were conducted

Ambient and forced vibration tests were carried out on the Beauharnois bridge, a unique, 177-m combined suspension and cable-stayed structure near Montreal, Canada. A rehabilitation program was completed on the bridge during which the deck was completely rebuilt with an orthotropic slab on two steel
In this paper, the non-linear vibration of a cable-stayed beam with time-varying length and tension in the cable is investigated. A set of non-linear, time-varying di!erential equations describing this coupling system is derived by Hamilton's principle and the "nite element method. According to the
## Abstract The trafficβinduced variability in the dynamic properties of a cableβstayed bridge is investigated using ambient vibration measurements. Under a relatively steady wind and temperature environment, the ambient vibration test was conducted on the bridge with normal traffic conditions and
A description of an experimental investigation involving the study of the dynamic interaction between the cables and the deck/towers system in cable-stayed bridges is presented. The work was carried out on a physical model of a cable-stayed bridge (the Jindo Bridge, in South Korea), whose characteri
The present paper describes an investigation of the e!ect of dynamic cable interaction with the deck and towers in the seismic response of a cable-stayed bridge. This study involved shaking table tests performed on a physical model of Jindo bridge, in order to validate two alternative numerical mode
