Beschreibung

This book presents the latest practices in high-speed railway suspension bridge design, covering site selection, bridge type and span layout, loading assumptions and load combinations, structural stiffness, structural components, expansion joints, wind resistance, and seismic analysis. It also shares insights on the wind-train-track-bridge interaction, wind and seismic analysis and design, and provides solutions for construction and maintenance. Wufengshan Yangtze River Bridge was taken as an example to introduce the key technologies of long-span high-speed railway suspension bridges in research, design, construction, and maintenance comprehensively.

This is an ideal guideline and reference book for bridge engineers and consultants engaged in research, design, construction, and maintenance of suspension bridges. It can also be adopted as a textbook for teachers and students of bridge engineering in the teaching of suspension bridges.
