During the design period from 1976 to 1978 a large umber of diferent designs for cable-sayed bridges (vith spansup (0850 mand suspension briges (with spans upto 1800m) were thorouahly investigated and it ‘was during that perio the idea matured 19 write a book covering both cable-stayed bridges and suspension bridges. The chance to prepare the ‘manuscript came in 1979 when the Danish Government decided to postpone the construction of the Great Belt Bridge and to keep the ‘Sesign work at rest for a period of five yeas. That gave me the relat eoessry 0 write "Thesocond go-ahead forthe Great Belt Bridge was gvenin 1987 when the Government approved the formation of a new client organization, AS Storebotsforbindlen, With an assignment as techaical advisee T ould once more follow the design developments of very large cable ‘supported bridges — now a the form ofcable-stayed bridges with spans between 900m and 1200m, and suspension bridges with spans berween 100m and 1800. ‘The result of the new evaluation were that suspension bridge witha rain span of 1626m was chosen for actual construction acros the Great Felt. Howeves, a chance to work also on the design of a major ‘ablestayed bridge came a few years later when te decision was taken to construct Bridge across the Qresund — the strait separating Denmark rom Sweden as now @ member of the desig tam inthe ASO Group eneusted to prepare the design for a double deck cable- Supported bridges with @ 490m long main span across the Flite ‘navigation channel In parallel with being associated with the design ofthese bridges both reaching the actual contraction stage i the 1990s, T also got the ‘opportunity to follow the design developments of to of the longest, ‘bridges ever conceived Thus in the period 1986-92 I was a member of Preface tothe Second Edition the International Design Board for & bridge with a flee span of up to 43300m seoss the Messina Strait, nd in 1992-931 was entrusted by the United Nations Economie Commissions for Aiea and Europe prepare lan evaluation report on the suds of bridge solutions forthe Gibraltar Strait Crosing These bridge stes comprised molispan suspension ‘bridges with spans of 2000-5000 m. ‘The detailed. design of the Great Belt Suspension Bridge was ‘concluded in 1993 and the basic design forthe Oresund Cable Stayed Bridge was carried out nate 1993 and early 1994. So vith the valuable cexpetience pained from the participation in conceiving and designing ‘hes large eable supported bridges the basis was Iai for updating the book on ealesupported bridges, which in themeantinead gone out of Pint from the publisher ‘A substantial part ofthe work rated to revising the text ofthe First ition was carried out during an extended stay tthe University of “Tenas at Austin inthe early spring of 1998 — and ‘he arrangements rade by my collenge, Profesor John FE Breen of the Univesity of Texas are most appreciated “The inacial supporto cover expenses during thestay at UT came feoma grant by the Knad Hara Foundation, whereas othe activities ‘elated to preparation ofthe manvscrpt forthe scon¢ edition to alae fextet sas Snanced by fonds received when Iwas evarded the Said Price in 1991 “The task of preparing the manuscript forthe Second Edition was supported in a most appreciated way by the Department of Structural Engineering at the Teeanical University of Deamaye.

Gimsing ‘ecical Unersity of Denmark August 1996 Introduction In the family of bridge systems the cable supported bridges are istinguished by ther ability to overcome large spans. Actually, cable supported bridges are competitive for spans in the range ftom 200m to ‘000m (and beyond, thus covering approximately 90% ofthe present span range. Forte vastmajorityofeable supported bridges the structural system can be divided into four main components a indicted in Figure (U)- the stitenng gtd (or truss) wit the bridge deck (0). the cable system supporting he stifening girder {@)_ the towers (or pylons) supporting the cable system (8). the anchor blocks (or anchor piers) supporting th cable system ‘vertically and horizontally, or only verucally atthe extreme ends. ‘The diferent types of cable supported bridges are distinctively characterized bythe configuration ofthe cable system “The suspension system (Figure 2) comprises a parabolic main cable and vertical (or slightly inclined) hanger cables connecting the stifening Bidar to the main cable CO sirens Gres
