EXTREME SEISMIC EVENT ANALYSIS OF A CABLE STAYED BRIDGE

Name1Surname11, Name2 Surname22 and Name3 Surname33

The extreme nature of earthquake had lead to many devastations in the past. The vulnerability due to extreme seismic events for structures like bridges, dams etc is growing with time. As these extreme seismic events are located in the tail end of the frequency distribution curve, these are mostly neglected in the design of structures in economical point of view. This had lead to severe damage of many bridges in the past. In this paper, the dynamic response of a long span cable stayed bridge when subjected to extreme seismic event is studied. The results are presented in terms of displacements, shear force, bending moments in structural components of bridge and axial forces in cables at critical sections of the bridge.
