Cantilever erection method is popularly used in construction of long span cable-stayed bridges. The structural configuration, boundary condition and construction loading are changed sequentially during erection process. In order to make the eventual structural performance at final erection stage consistent to the design of complete bridge, structural analysis of erection process is indeed important. This study used hybrid GA to develop an automatic analysis for cantilever erection process of the cable-stayed bridges. The case study was performed and the analytical results were discussed. The results obtained show the method developed can deal with the optimum construction planning of cable-stayed bridges using cantilever erection.
