The work reprint on herein was aimed at developing methodologies and tools for efficient and accurate numerical simulation of the seismic response of suspension and cable-stayed structures. A special purpose finite element program has been constructed and the underlying theory and demonstration example problems are presented. A companion report [Ref 1] discusses the application of this technology for a major suspension bridge structure
