The purpose of this paper is to compare the design equation of Allowable Stress Design (ASD) with that of Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) concerning the member stability for the economic design of cable-stayed bridges. Both elastic and inelastic buckling analyses are carried out for the cable-stayed bridges with the effective buckling lengths of the key members calculated. The axial-flexural interaction equations prescribed in ASD and LRFD are used to check the stability of main members in cable-stayed bridges. Parametric studies are performed for the bridges with a center span of 300, 600, 900, and 1200 m of different girder depths. Peak values of the interaction equations are calculated at the intersection between the girder and towers. Since the peak values of the interaction equations by inelastic buckling analysis are less than those by elastic buckling analysis, a more economical design of the girder and towers can be achieved using the inelastic buckling analysis. In addition, the use of LRFD specifications can result in a more economical design by about 20% on average than the ASD specifications for steel cable-stayed bridges.

An accurate numerical analysis of the behavior of long-span cable-stayed bridges under environmental effects is a challenge because of complex, uncertain and varying environmental meteorology. This study aims to investigate in-situ experimental structural behavior of long-span steel cable-stayed bridges under environmental effects such as air temperature and wind using the monitoring data. Nissibi cable-stayed bridge with total length of 610m constructed in the city of Adıyaman, Turkey, in 2015 is chosen for this purpose. Structural behaviors of the main structural elements including deck, towers (pylons) and cables of the selected long span cable-stayed bridge under environmental effects such as air temperature and wind are investigated by using daily monitoring data. The daily variations of cable forces, cable accelerations, pylon accelerations and deck accelerations with air temperature and wind speed are compared using the hottest summer (July 31, 2015) and the coldest winter (January 1, 2016) days data.
