Lee a b ab,bb 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 determi nation of in itial cable forces in a prestressed concrete cable-stayed bridge for a given vertical pro?le of deck under its dead load is an im porta nt but di?cult task that a ects the overall desig n of the bridge. A new method utilizing the idea of force equilibrium is presented in this paper for their determi nation. The method can easily accou nt 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 Scienee Ltd?

Keywords: Prestressed con Crete; Cable-stayed bridge; Initial cable force; Vertical pro?le Introduction The cable-stayed bridge is a modern form of bridge which is both econo mical and aesthetic .It has bee n exte nsively 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 im porta nt 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 cha nge with the passage of time and the in t
