Abstract
Turkey, ranking second on investing in roads after Slovakia among the OECD countries, has recently started to design and construct long-span cable-supported bridges. In recent years, a live load model accurately representing the actual live load uncertainties prevailing in Turkey has been developed using probabilistic methods. The live load model, KGM 45, is now used in the design of short to medium span bridges in Turkey. In a previous nationally funded research, the superstructure of cable-stayed bridges has also been studied with KGM 45 live load model. The focus of this paper on extending the findings of the previous research into new cable-supported long-span bridge live load designs of Turkey. In this concept, both superstructure and cable designs have been studied by a committee formed by the Turkish Highways, KGM. In this paper, we present only the results of cable designs.
