In the absence of intensive tests on the cable-stayed bridges under non-uniform excitation, this study provides a practical and accurate approach to investigate the seismic response of cable-stayed bridges considering spatially varying earthquake inputs. The cable-stayed bridge model with a scale ratio of 1:120 was designed and tested on a newly-developed dual shake table system. Firstly, the modal test was conducted to evaluate the accuracy of the designed specimen. Secondly, both the same input cases and the different inputs cases were executed to study the wave passage effects on bridge specimen’s dynamic response. Lastly, the effects of non-uniform excitation and site classification on the experimental bridge’s seismic performance were studied with test results of various soil condition cases. The test results showed that the bending of the girder was magnified, while the swing of the tower was subdued when the effect of wave propagation was considered. Moreover, compared with the same input cases, the different inputs cases reported a larger response to the extent of 80%. Regarding the effects of site conditions, it was concluded that the site of soft soil had more influence on the dynamic responses of such bridge structures than that of the firm soil site.
