Cable supported bridges: concept and design

14 years on from its last edition, Cable Supported Bridges: Concept and Design, 3rd Edition has been significantly updated with corrections and brand new imagery throughout. Since the appearance of the second edition the dynamic response of cable supported bridges has increased in focus, and this development is recognised with two new chapters on dynamic actions, focusing on bridge aerodynamics and more particular issues such as pedestrian-induced vibrations and bridge monitoring. The book concentrates on the synthesis of cable supported bridges, suspension as well as cable stayed, covering both design and construction aspects. The emphasis is laid on the conceptual design phase where the main features of the bridge shall be determined. Based on comparative analyses with relatively simple mathematical expressions the different structural forms are quantified and preliminarily optimised. As a result a first estimate on dimensions of the main load carrying elements will be achieved to give in an initial input for the mathematical computer model to be used in the detailed design phase. The book provides an invaluable, tried-and-tested resource for academics and engineers alike.
