The extradosed bridge can be thought of as intermediate between the girder and cable-stayed bridge forms. This paper explores the boundaries of this form of bridge to attempt to define them more clearly. The paper summarises previous work on extradosed bridges and outlines the authors' own findings from their parametric study of a bridge near the boundary between cable-stayed and extradosed. The key parameters of extradosed bridges are outlined and compared with those for girder and cable-stayed bridges. The study indicates that although there is a clear division between girder and extradosed bridges the boundary, if any, between extradosed and cable-stayed forms is less clear.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
