Cable-stayed bridges are prone to exhibit large amplitude oscillations because of their large flexibility, small mass, and small inherent damping. Hence, the reduction of seismic or wind-induced vibration of cable-stayed bridges is vital for their safety and serviceability. In this paper, a resetting semiactive stiffness damper (RSASD) is used to control the peak dynamic response of a recently developed benchmark problem on a cable-stayed bridge subject to earthquakes. The model of the benchmark cable-stayed bridge is based on the actual cable-stayed bridge that is under construction on Cape Girardeau, Mo. The prime aim of this study is to investigate the application of protective devices, such as semiactive and passive dampers, in reducing the displacement of the deck as well as base shear and moments at the base of the towers. In this research, the applications of the RSASD as well as passive viscous and fluid dampers to the benchmark bridge problem have been investigated. Numerical simulations are cond...
