Cable optimization of a cable-stayed bridge based on genetic algorithms and the influence matrix method
ENGINEERING OPTIMIZATION(2022)
摘要
Structural optimization is an important tool for structural designers that helps them to find innovative design solutions and structural forms with a better exploitation of materials as well as decreased self-weight and minimum material costs. In this article, a design procedure coupling the influence matrix method and genetic algorithms to optimize stay cables in cable-stayed bridges is presented. Following that, the design procedure is utilized in the preliminary design of a twin towers double-cable planes cable-stayed bridge to be located in Ferrara, Italy. The cable cross-sectional areas and corresponding pre-tension forces are optimized simultaneously. The results demonstrate that the proposed procedure is a powerful tool for designing stay cables and predicting the optimum cross-sectional areas of stay cables under certain stress and displacement constraints.
