Certain Aspects of Bridge Design

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 74))

Abstract

During these lectures at the NATO Advanced Study Institute it is my intention to treat certain aspects of bridge design that stem from my experience of several decades as a researcher and bridge designer. From the viewpoint of general interest as well as applicability, the following topic has been chosen for the first part of the presentation: the importance of partial prestressing.

For the second session of lectures, as per the request of the organizers, it is my intention to treat the design and construction of cable-stayed bridges.
