摘要
Box-girder decks are very effective solutions for long span cable-staved bridges, due to their high torsional stiffness and streamlined profile, which usually lead to a good aerodynamic behaviour. A study on the optimization of such structural system is presented in this paper. The deck is modelled through the assembly of planes of plate-membrane elements. A multicriteria approach is considered for the optimization itself, with constraints on maximum stresses, minimum stresses in stays and deflections under dead load condition. Two illustrative examples are shown. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
