Abstract
Both geometric and material nonlinearities are taked into account in the analysis for ultimate load capacity of cable stayed bridge by energy method. The potential energy of whole bridge including bridge deck, inclined cables, pylons and the work dome by external loads are considered in the development of the bridge energy equation. The proposed method is simple to use and has a high convergence rate for engineering application.
