Disproportionate collapse of a cable-stayed bridge
Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Bridge Engineering, 2019 The disproportionate collapse of an existing cable-stayed bridge was investigated at the numerical level by employing a validated model from the literature and the applied-element method. An earthquake input was used for the numerical simulations and applied at increasing intensity to assess the bridge response.
