Lee a b abbb Department of Bridge Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai, People#39;s Republic of China Department of Civil Engineering, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, People#39;s Republic of China Received 14 August 1997; accepted 18 November 1998 Abstract The determination of initial cable forces in a prestressed concrete cable-stayed bridge for a given vertical pro?le of deck under its dead load is an important but di?cult task that a ects the overall design of the bridge. A new method utilizing the idea of force equilibrium is presented in this paper for their determination. The method can easily account for the e ect of prestressing and the additional bending moments due to the vertical pro?le of the bridge deck. It is much more rational and simple than the traditional zero displacement#39;#39; method, and it is able to achieve bending moments in the bridge deck approaching those in a continuous beam over rigid simple supports. # 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Keywords: Prestressed concrete; Cable-stayed bridge; Initial cable force; Vertical pro?le Introduction The cable-stayed bridge is a modern form of bridge which is both economical and aesthetic. It has been extensively employed in the construction of long-span bridges in the past few decades. However this kind of structure is highly statically indetermi-nate, and therefore many schemes of initial cable forces are possible. In the particular case of pre-stressed concrete cable-stayed bridges, it is especially important to choose an appropriate scheme of initial cable forces while the bridge is under dead load only. Owing to shrinkage and creep, the de - ections will change with the passa
