The book provides a reference work for potential cable-stayed bridge designers. There is guidance on subjects from geometry and choice of materials to checking the physiological effects of vibration.
Historical review; general design; layout of cable stays; deck; pylons;
parametric study; influence of stay layout; influence of desk inertia;
influence of connections between pylons and deck; stay technology; cables;
anchorages; protection of cables; static design; loads; idealization of the
structure; stays; pylons; design of the deck; erection; dynamic analysis;
natural frequencies and principal modes of vibration; aerodynamic behaviour;
physiological effects of vibration; seismic behaviour; practical examples;
examples of small and medium-span cable stayed bridges; pedestrian
footbridges; road bridges; railway bridges; aqueducts, canal bridges and
pipe-bridges; appendix; test of a scale model of a cable stayed concrete
bridge with a slender deck; description of the model; description of the
test; results.
