Abstract

The analysis of the stability is performed for a structure of degenerate plate-type, more suitable to describe the behavior of real bridges. Both the cases of rigid and extensible hangers are taken into account, determining again the optimal position of the piers in terms of linear and nonlinear stability, with particular emphasis on the torsional modes.
