An Iterative Calculation Method for Suspension Bridge’s Cable System Based on Exact Catenary Theory

In this paper, a flexible iterative method capable of considering the effects of slip between the main cable and saddles is presented for the analysis of the cable system in the suspension bridge. In the proposed procedure, nonlinear governing equations were first linearized based on the first-order...
