Abstract

This study aims to develop estimation formulas of fundamental frequencies of single-pylon self-Anchored suspension bridges based on the Rayleigh method. The basic equations of vertical free vibrations are established using the energy principle. Trigonometric shape function is applied to solve the equations. Configurations of self-Anchored suspension bridges are also concerned and some small terms in magnitude analyses are ignored in order to simplify the derivation. Finally, an example of estimating fundamental frequencies of a self-Anchored suspension bridge is also performed. In this example the formulas have only a4.4% deviation at most, which illustrates that the formulas can be utilized in the design phase of single-pylon self-Anchored suspension bridges.
