CERTAIN ASPECTS OF BRIDGE DESIGN

The first part of the paper deals with partial prestressing. It examines the performance requirements for serviceability, choice of the degree of prestressing, and partial prestressing and shear or torsion. Part two is devoted to cable-stayed bridges. Details are given of the development of the multi-stay-cable system, arrangement of the stay cables, ratio between main and side spans, optimum height and stiffness of towers, arrangement of the cables transversely and cross sections of the deck structures, situation at the ends of the cable stayed bridges, arrangement of bearings and joints, maximum span length, towers, cables and their anchorage, dynamic behaviour, and cable-stayed bridges for railroad.
