Cable supported bridges in the form of suspension bridges and
cable-stayed bridges are distinguished by their ability to
overcome large spans.The book concentrates on the synthesis of
cable supported bridges, covering both design and construction
aspects. The analytical part covers simple methods to quantify the
different structural configurations and allows a preliminary
optimization of the main structure.Included are the most recent
advances in structural design, corrosion protection of cables,
aerodynamic safety, and erection procedures.
