About this book

This book introduces the latest developments in long-span cable-supported composite cable-stayed bridges, suspension bridges, and mid- and through-type cable-supported composite arch bridges. Based on the engineering application and practice of cable-supported composite bridges, this book systematically expounds the structural systems of these bridge types. It also summarizes the main construction methods, analyzes the mechanical properties of cable-stayed bridges and suspension bridges with composite girders and the influence rule with alternative spans, and proposes the reasonable span range based on economic efficiency. The prospect of using orthotropic composite bridge decks in long-span cable-supported bridges is also analyzed. This book is a valuable reference for both bridge professional technicians and graduate students for research, design and construction.

About the author

Changyu Shao serves as the director of the Chinese Civil Engineering Society, and the deputy director of the bridge and structure branch. He had won several national science and technology progress awards and national engineering design master awards of China. He has been engaged in bridge engineering design and research for nearly 40 years. He has presided over the design of highway bridges such as Shanghai East Sea Bridge, Ningbo Hangzhou Bay Sea-Crossing Bridge, and Shanghai Yangtze River Bridge. He has presided over the program research and preliminary design of high-speed railway bridges such as Nan**g Dashengguan Yangtze River Bridge and Wuhan Tianxingzhou Highway-Railway Bridge. He has served as the general director of design and construction consultation for the main project of Guangdong Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the general director of design consultation for the bridges of Shenzhen—Zhongshan link. His achievements are innovative and pioneering.
