Key Points

The aim is to evaluate the seismic responses of a new suspension bridge design to improve its earthquake performance.
Analyzed the structural design of a main-cable-looped suspension bridge.
Investigated the impact of ground-anchored rods on stability during seismic events.
Conducted simulations to assess stiffness and damping characteristics.
The main-cable-looped design improves stiffness compared to traditional suspension bridges.
Ground-anchored rods significantly enhance damping capabilities.
Seismic responses show reduced vulnerability during earthquake simulations.

Abstract

Long-span suspension bridges are inherently vulnerable to earthquakes due to their low stiffness and damping. A novel design, the main-cable-looped (MCL) suspension bridge, features a looped main cable that alters the structu... | Find, read and cite all the research you need on Tech Science Press
