DESCRIPTION

Cable stayed bridges are seen as the alternative that fills the gap between long span bridges and suspension bridges. During the 1980s, several types of construction of cable stayed bridges such as steel, segmental concrete, composite steel and concrete superstructures emerged in different countries.

The great evolution in computational methods, materials, and methods of construction has contributed to the tremendous development in state of the art cable stayed bridges in the past two decades. With spans that exceed one thousand meters, cable stayed bridges are now becoming a substitute for suspension bridges. This book outlines the development in the design of cable stayed bridges. Rigorous methods of analysis are presented. Simplified methods that lead to preliminary estimation of forces in major members for design are discussed. The book first reviews the evolution of this type of bridge, with focus on the vast development during the past twenty years. The book then discusses the basic principles of cable stayed bridges, related to aspects of analysis, design, construction, and maintenance. Specific issues such as aerodynamic stability of the bridges and different methods of testing and analysis required for this purpose are explained. Cable vibration problems are summarized and methods of its control are outlined. Special attention is given to the performance-based design method and one chapter is devoted towards explanation of the merits of this trend in design. Application of the method to the seismic and fire safety designs of cable stayed bridges is also covered.

Descripción

Los puentes atirantados se consideran la alternativa que cubre la brecha entre los puentes de gran luz y los puentes colgantes. Durante la década de 1980, surgieron en diferentes países diversos tipos de construcción de puentes atirantados, como acero, hormigón segmentado, acero mixto y superestructuras de hormigón. La gran evolución en métodos computacionales, materiales y métodos de construcción ha contribuido al enorme desarrollo de los puentes atirantados de vanguardia en las últimas dos décadas. Con luces superiores a los mil metros, los puentes atirantados se están convirtiendo en un sustituto de los puentes colgantes. Este libro describe la evolución en el diseño de puentes atirantados. Se presentan métodos rigurosos de análisis. Se discuten métodos simplificados que permiten la estimación preliminar de fuerzas en los elementos principales para el diseño. El libro revisa primero la evolución de este tipo de puente, centrándose en el amplio desarrollo de los últimos veinte años. A continuación, analiza los principios básicos de los puentes atirantados, relacionados con aspectos de análisis, diseño, construcción y mantenimiento. Se explican aspectos específicos como la estabilidad aerodinámica de los puentes y los diferentes métodos de ensayo y análisis necesarios para este fin. Se resumen los problemas de vibración de cables y se describen los métodos para su control. Se presta especial atención al método de diseño basado en el rendimiento y se dedica un capítulo a explicar las ventajas de esta tendencia de diseño. También se aborda su aplicación al diseño sísmico y de seguridad contra incendios de puentes atirantados.
