| Abstract: |
Cable-stayed bridges (CSBs) have undergone rapid development in China during the past five decades. A large number of world-class record-breaking CSBs have been built, and remarkable experience has been accumulated. In this paper, 776 CSBs from 1975 to 2022 in China are comprehensively investigated, and more than 15 fundamental factors are analyzed. Firstly, the general characteristics of CSBs in China are reviewed, including the bridge development, regional distribution, and general configuration. Subsequently, the four deck types and applications are compared and presented. Furthermore, typical pylon configurations are illustrated from the views of the structural shape and height. Lastly, the structural characteristics of parallel wire and strand cables are discussed, and the stay cable layouts of the CSBs are highlighted. This paper will provide a comprehensive and useful reference for the design and research work of more excellent and impressive CSBs worldwide. |
