By taking a super long-span cable-stayed bridge with a main span of 1 400 m as example, the aerostatic and aerodynamic stability of the bridge are investigated by three-dimensional nonlinear aerostatic and aerodynamic stability analy- sis, and the results are compared with those of a suspension bridge with a main span of 1 385 m, and from the aspect of wind stability, the feasibility of using cable-stayed bridge in super long-span bridge with a main span above l 000 m is discussed. In addition, the influences of design parameters including the depth and width of the girder, the tower structure, the tower height-to-span ratio, the side-to-main span ratio, the auxiliary piers in the side span and the anchorage system of stay cables, etc on the aerostatic and aerodynamic stability of su- per long-span cable-stayed bridges are investigated numerically; the key design parameters are pointed out, and also their reasonable values are proposed.展开更多

The present paper describes the main features of the design and construction of several long-span arch bridges of this typology in Spain： the three pedestrian footbridges for the Madrid cycling ring track, with spans of 52, 60 and 80 m, the Bridge over River Deba in Guipuzcoa with a span of 110 m and Palma del Rio Bridge over River Guadalquivir in Cordoba, 130 m long. In all cases, two inclined arches linked at the crown were implemented, a very effective disposition to reduce the out-of-plane buckling length. The multiple crossings of the hanger system, consisting of prestressed bars in the case of Deba Bridge and the footbridges, and locked coil cables for Palma del Rio Bridge, were dealt with by means of crossing devices which led to a technically satisfactory solution with minimal visual impact. An innovative approach to bowstring arches was introduced in Valdebebas Bridge over M-12 motorway in Madrid, next to the new T-4 Terminal of Barajas Airport, with a span of 162 m, where the hangers are replaced by a structural steel mesh -diagrid- which acts as the web of a simply-supported beam whose compression head is the arch and the tie beam is the deck.展开更多

The elastic cables are installed to connect the steel tower and the steel box girder. The constraints can increase the safety coefficient of the middle saddle, and improve the stress conditions of the middle pylon and decrease the deflection in the middle of the main girder, as well as the longitudinal displacement of the main girder caused by live loads. The anchorage boxes of the elastic cable are installed in the wind fairing outside the vertical web plate of the box girder. Two anchor boxes form a pair and are arranged parallelly. Eight anchor boxes are installed in the bridge. In this paper, the design scheme and the technical difficulties in manufacturing are briefly discussed with the precision control techniques.展开更多

The difference of line-shape and force between catwalk bearing cable and gantry bearing cable is not usually considered, but the line-shape of two kinds of cables is actually inconsistent because of the constraints from gantries. Based on the segmental catenary method, considering the different states of bearing cables （ DSB calculation method）, fine calculation is carried out. This method is applied to the design of a suspension bridge＇ s catwalk, and is compared with the traditional calculation method. It is obtained that the result is more reasonable and accurate by the coordination calculation method considering different states for two kinds of load-bearing cables, which is worth considering in the nrocess of design and optimization for catwalk.展开更多
