Abstract
In this paper, non-uniform dynamic analysis of a cable-stayed bridge is carried out using the large mass method. The Ed Yangtze River highway bridge, constructed in Hubei province, is chosen as a numerical example. In the non-uniform dynamic analysis, various wave velocities are used for the travelling ground motion. Displacements and internal forces solutions obtained for the spatially varying ground motions are compared with those of the uniform excitation. It is observed that the velocity of the ground motion greatly influences the response of the bridge and the variability of the ground motions should be included in the time-history analysis of cable-stayed bridges.
