Abstract
The objective of this study is to thoroughly investigate the dynamic characteristics of the Kao Ping Hsi Bridge located in southern Taiwan. A one-element cable system (OECS) and a multi-element cable system (MECS) are presented for simulating the dynamic properties of the cables of the bridge. By a finite element computation procedure, the initial shape, modal, and seismic analyses are conducted for the bridge using either the OECS or MECS model. A hybrid method combining both the two-loop iteration and the catenary function is proposed to determine the initial shapes using the MECS model. Convergent and smooth initial shapes can be obtained using such a method. The results indicate that the OECS model can yield solution in an efficient way, whereas the MECS model should be used if solutions of greater accuracy are desired.
