英文摘要：

To facilitate the design of external viscous damper of stay cable and rapidly obtain damper parameters such as supporting stiffness,installation height,etc.,based on the universal formula on damping ratio of cable-damper system,through variable separation of the formula and statistical study of cable parameters,apractical design method for viscous damper was proposed,which can approximately account for the influence of each parameter on damping ratio independently.Theoretical error analysis and example design analysis were carried out to verify the accuracy and reliability of the method.The results show that the theoretical relative error between the modal damping ratios obtained by simplified method and the optimal damping ratios is less than 8.1%,and the actual relative error for an example bridge is less than 2.3%.It is feasible and convenient for the engineers to obtain the design parameters and installation conditions of the external viscous dampers according to the cable type,length,and tension force.The design accuracy and preserved safety coefficient satisfy the engineering design requirement.
