Design of Long Span Railway Suspension Bridges

By: Xu, Gongyi

This book is a unique, comprehensive and state-of-the-art reference covering key aspects of design, construction and maintenance of long-span railway suspension bridges. It focuses on site selection, structural types, span arrangement, analysis theories and methods, wind and seismic analysis, structural design and detailing, construction control for suspension bridges in general, especially for the long-span railway suspension bridges. The book presents the latest Chinese railway technical standards and operation experiences including structural types, theoretical analysis and design methods for high-speed railway suspension bridges, as well as cutting-edge development for such as structural stiffness, driving stability, driving safety and comfort, which are closely related to the operation of high-speed trains. It highlights the wind-train-track-bridge interaction in detail. The book also discusses construction and maintenance issues for long-span railway bridges.

The book is a good reference for engineers and consultants in research, design, construction and maintenance of railway suspension bridges. It is also used as a reference for MS-level graduate students in bridge engineering course.
