Abstract To investigate the influence of different longitudinal constraint systems on the longitudinal displacement at the girder ends of a three-tower suspension bridge, this study takes the Cangrong Xunjiang Bridge as an engineering case for finite element analysis. This bridge employs an unprecedented tower-girder constraint method, with all vertical supports placed at the transition piers at both ends. This paper aims to study the characteristics of longitudinal displacement control at the girder ends under this novel structure, relying on finite element (FE) analysis. Initially, based on the Weigh In Motion (WIM) data, a random vehicle load… More >
