Abstract

Planar modelling of Széchenyi Chain bridge used in association with the load test after the renewal in 1987-88 is presented. The computation was devoted to demonstration of the distribution of the tension forces in the suspension bars. In order to get adequated results, a second order theory was used. It was necessary to take the 'load history' of the bridge into consideration. This effect was evaluated by a 'try-and-error' method.
