This book concentrates on the synthesis of cable supported bridges, suspension as well as cable stayed, covering both design and construction aspects. The emphasis is on the conceptual design phase where the main features of the bridge will be determined. Based on comparative analyses with relatively simple mathematical expressions, the different structural forms are quantified and preliminary optimization demonstrated. This provides a first estimate on dimensions of the main load carrying elements to give in an initial input for mathematical computer models used in the detailed design phase.
Key features:
- Describes evolution and trends within the design and construction of cable supported bridges
- Describes the response of structures to dynamic actions that have attracted growing attention in recent years
- Highlights features of the different structural components and their interaction in the entire structural system
- Presents simple mathematical expressions to give a first estimate on dimensions of the load carrying elements to be used in an initial computer input
This comprehensive coverage of the design and construction of cable supported bridges provides an invaluable, tried and tested resource for academics and engineers.
