Abstract

As the quality of life improves, travelling becomes a hotspot of life, and pedestrian suspension bridges, as a new highlight of tourism, are both convenient and ornamental. The structural system arrangement is crucial to the performance of suspension bridges. Based on the computational theory of suspension bridges, this study explores the influence of the arrangement on the static and dynamic performance and proposes an optimisation scheme. By comparing different design methods, the design process is simplified and the scope of application is clarified. This result will provide an important reference for the future design of suspension bridges and help the development of tourism.
