Elastic cables have the advantages of desirable seismic mitigation effect, low cost, and convenient installation, and have been used widely in low-To-mid-span bridges. However, their utilization in long-span cable-stayed bridges has been limited. To study the effect of elastic cable on the seismic response mitigation of long-span cable-stayed bridges, an experimental model (half-bridge model) with a geometric similarity ratio of 1a40 was established. Both the semifloating system and the elastic restraint system were considered, and the seismic responses of the two systems under earthquake exci...
