The authors have investigated the use of passive vibration dampers through the implementation of concentrated masses in the hybrid cross-tie system of a cable-stayed bridge. A 3D model of a cable-stayed bridge was built in ANSYS suite. The authors have studied the stress-strain behavior and dynamic characteristics of the model under the gravity load. The study has shown that the most effective model appears to be the one with passive dampers implemented by means of six concentrated masses. The increased stiffness of links of the concentrated masses had stronger effect on the model with passive dampers implemented by means of ten concentrated masses, however the model where passive dampers were implemented by six concentrated masses displayed comparable values of natural vibration frequencies with deflections in the spans being 3% lower, displacements of the towers being 8% lower, and longitudinal forces in the main cable being 6% lower. The results obtained by the authors allow for the conclusion that all models of a hybrid cross-tie system with passive dampers reviewed have high aerodynamic stability.
