Geometrical nonlinearities on the static analysis of highly flexible steel cable-stayed bridges

An evaluation of the importance of geometrically nonlinear effects on the structural static analysis of steel cable-stayed bridges is presented. A finite element model is analyzed using linear, pseudo-linear and nonlinear methods. The pseudo-linear approach is based on the modified elastic modulus....
