Due to its strong crossing ability, cable-stayed bridges have become the mainstream bridge type for large and medium spans. The connected tower cable-stayed bridge is different from traditional single span cable-stayed bridges, integrating the characteristics of split frame structure and connected tower design, and has better structural mechanical properties. However, the complex cable layout, multi tower structure, and segmented bridge deck of the cable-stayed bridge with connected towers result in essential differences in its mechanical behavior compared to traditional bridges. Therefore, studying the dynamic response of cable-stayed bridge cables when vehicle loads pass through the bridge is of great practical significance. This article comprehensively considers two factors: vehicle weight and vehicle speed, and introduces the parameter of dynamic amplification factor. The numerical simulation method is used to analyze the dynamic response of the cable when a vehicle load passes through a cable-stayed bridge with a connected tower. In order to provide key data support and important references for the construction and operation monitoring of cable-stayed bridges with connected towers.
