Abstract: |
Sutong Bridge is the longest cable-stayed bridge in the world with a main span of 1088 m. In this paper, design and construction concepts are briefly presented. Furthermore, key technologies and innovative achievements mainly on piled foundation bearing capacity analysis, river bed scour protection and monitoring, superstructure wind-resistance study, mid-span closure method as well as long cantilever structure construction control are summarized. |
