Cable-Stayed Bridges: 40 Years of Experience Worldwide 2013

Cable-stayed bridges are experiencing rapid growth worldwide. While approximately 150 major cable-stayed bridges were known to exist globally in 1986, their number has since increased many times over. Around 1975, the longest span was 404 m; by 1995, it had already reached 856 m and now stands at 1104 m. The economic range for competing suspension bridges is increasingly limited to even greater spans, and cable-stayed bridges are at the center of attention for bridge engineers worldwide.

This work provides a fundamental treatment of all phases of design, assembly planning, and construction, explained and illustrated with reference to approximately 250 completed examples. Deliberately, no reference is made to regulations. The bridges presented have been designed according to international standards, such as DIN, Eurocode, AASHTO, and British Standard. Particular emphasis has been placed on the chapters on cables and erection, as this is where the crucial difference lies compared to other bridge types.

The selection of cable-stayed bridges discussed was based on the following criteria: bridges on which the author has collaborated, or in which the engineering firm Leonhardt, Andrä und Partner (LAP) was significantly involved, and bridges with unique structural features or record spans. The key design engineers are introduced.

A book for practicing engineers and students alike.

Note: The e-book does not contain the lecture videos that are included with the book on DVD.
