The structural system of this type of bridge is effectively composed of cables, main girders and towers. Because of their complex structural system, Cable-stayed bridges are highly indeterminate structures that require a high degree of technology for analysis and design. Hence, they demand sophisticated structural techniques for analysis and design when compared with other types of conventional bridges. In such bridges the cables, being flexible supports, require pre-tensioning. These pre-tension forces are important factors in the design and construction process. Thus, the response of the bridge is highly non-linear and an optimization procedure is required to evaluate the pre-tensioning forces. In this study, the unknown load factor optimization method is the method used to determine the cable forces. The procedure is based on using finite element analysis programs. The cable tension of a cable stayed bridge is evaluated u...
