| Abstract: |
Major bridges are lifelines of our modern economies. As engineers, we are obliged to design robust and long-lasting structures, which are prepared for future developments. This contribution summarizes the state of the art of sustainable bridge design, with a focus on major cable-stayed bridges. Sustainable bridge design can be broken down into three principles:
Besides giving a critically review of existing solutions, a list of innovative developments will be highlighted and their future implementation discussed. |
