Abstract

This paper examines local parametric vibrations in the stay cables of a cable-stayed bridge. The natural frequencies of the global modes are obtained by using a three-dimensional FE model. The global motions generated by (1) sinusoidal excitations using exciter, (2) a traffic loading, and (3) an earthquake are analyzed by using the modal analysis method or the direct integration method. The local vibration of stay cable is calculated by using a model in which inclined cable is subjected to time-varying displacement at one support during global motions. This paper describes the properties of the local vibrations in stay cables under these dynamic loadings by using an existing cable-stayed bridge.
