RE: Bowstring Bridge comes under Geometric non-linearity or not?

I'm not a civil engineer, but by the term "bow-string"
bridge I would presume that there are high-tensile members
in it.  If the stiffness of high-tension cables is important to the analysis, then this is likely a nonlinear geometry problem (as linear geometry could not capture this effect).
