Form Finding and Aesthetic Design for Pylons of Cable-supported Bridges

Xiaoyu, Luo; Yue, Wu; Airong, Chen; Bo, Liu; Haibo, Liu

2021 Structural Engineering International

doi:10.1080/10168664.2020.1870056

Abstract Pylons of cable-supported bridges are especially important components. They are generally large in scale and bear the main loads of the bridge, involving requirements both in structural performance and aesthetics. In this paper, a new form finding method for the pylon is proposed, with...

Conceptual Design of Cable-Supported Bridges with Road and Railway Traffic

Wang, Yingliang; Ren, Wanmin; Han, Bing; Romberg, Martin

2021 Structural Engineering International

doi:10.1080/10168664.2020.1856019

Abstract The design and analysis of Cable-Supported Bridges (CSBs) with Road and Railway Traffic (RRT) are very complex due to the many boundary conditions and structural options, e.g. the railway tracks and road lanes can be arranged on one level, two levels, staggered levels or mixed levels;...

Balance and Costs of Cable-Stayed Bridges with Inclined and Curved Tower Shapes

Jutila, Aarne; Järvenpää, Esko; Quach, Tung T.

2021 Structural Engineering International

doi:10.1080/10168664.2021.1929666

Abstract Although engineers can analyse demanding structures, basic understanding of the structural behaviour is not always clear to them. This is particularly true with cable-stayed bridges having asymmetric spans and inclined or even curved towers. To improve this situation, the present paper...

Cable-Stayed Bridge with S-Curved Girder: Shake Hands Bridge

Miyachi, Kazuhiro; Nakamura, Shunichi

2021 Structural Engineering International

doi:10.1080/10168664.2020.1870908

Abstract A cable-stayed pedestrian bridge with an S-curved girder called Shake Hands Bridge is proposed. This type of bridge overturns the traditional notion of linearly constructed cable-stayed bridges. Cables support the S-curved girder from intersecting inclined towers creating a...

Hålogaland Bridge—A Landmark in Arctic Norway

Jamal, Assad; Sundet, Erik

2021 Structural Engineering International

doi:10.1080/10168664.2021.1924100

Abstract Hålogaland Bridge in Arctic Norway has been recognized for its elegance and respectful integration within a majestic landscape. The location north of the Arctic Circle means that the bridge must sustain extreme environmental loading, and this has called for a number of innovative design...

Comparison of Form-finding Methods to Shape Concrete Shells for Curved Footbridges

Congiu, Eleonora; Fenu, Luigi; Briseghella, Bruno

2021 Structural Engineering International

doi:10.1080/10168664.2021.1878974

Abstract Shells are attractive and efficient structures that play a special role for engineers and architects. However, only few bridges supported by concrete shells have been designed and built after the Musmeci’s bridge in Potenza (Italy). Several numerical form-finding methods have been...
