dynamic analysis of cable stayed bridges 1

[McIvan]

I am a young engineer, but since I have already done some researchs and projects about bridge dynamics, I have been invited to be part of a team designing a long cable stayed bridge in Belgrade, Serbia.
What I need now is some quality papers about cable stayed bridges, generally, and especially about dynamic (seismic) analysis of that type of bridges. To be more precise - I want to know more about creating a model of a superstructure and a model of a foudation system (piles).
Anyone know some useful websites, I would be extremly grateful!
Also, please recommend me some important literature in English in that field.

McIvan - Here is a link to the public web page for the longest cable stayed bridge in North America. It is currently under construction just down the road from me. Doubt if this page has what you need, but it is a start.

Oh - Forgot to say this bridge is designed for the somewhat unusual combination of high wind (hurricanes), ship collision, and high seismic loading - Charleston has had quite powerful earthquakes in the past.
