The Failure progression throughout the bridge is studied due to the initial loss of the two leftmost end cable after cable 1-1, Cable 1-2 and 1-3 (1st half of the bridge, 2nd and 3rd Cable). Geometrical non-linearity is considered for the whole structure. Material non-linearity is considered for the cables, concrete deck, and all the girders. Analysis is done in SAP 2000 14. Red colored hinges show the failed elements with increasing time steps.
