Hello everyone: I am using OpenSees to create a model of a suspension bridge for seismic response analysis. I encountered an issue while simulating the central buckle: the central buckle needs to be simulated using truss elements, but the material behavior is only subjected to tension, not compressi...

Thanks for your reply.

Hello!
I am working on seismic analysis of a suspension bridge model.
Considering the prestressing effects and stress-stiffening effects of the main cables and suspension cables, I am wondering how can i simulate the cable?

Tanks for your reply.

Hello I am working on seismic analysis of a nonlinear bridge model. As the main vulnerable component of bridge under earthquake, the bridge pylon and girder is beformed by Non-linear Beam-column Element based on flexibility method. I am wondering can I simulate the elements by Consistent­-Mass Matri...
