Dynamic Responses of Long-Span Steel Truss Girder Cable-Stayed Bridge With a Single Pylon by Yong Zeng, Jiahao Wei, Yutong Zeng, Yunchuan Xiao, Hongwei Mao, Ming Huang, Zhongfu Xiang, Jianting Zhou

“…However, by employing structural measures such as sufficient stiffness and reasonable width of the steel truss girder, the negative impact of single-cable plane arrangement on the dynamic characteristics of the bridge can be mitigated. It is suggested to adopt a single-cable plane arrangement when the standard width of the main girder is narrow, while a double-cable plane arrangement is more suitable when the standard width of the main girder is wide. …”
