“…This conclusion has been demonstrated by the fact that the majority of the existing long-span suspension bridges were correctly designed using the de ection theory before the computer era [5]. A detailed review of the de ection theory can be found in Reference [6].…”

SUMMARYA simpliÿed method for analysing lateral response of suspension bridges under wind loads is proposed in this paper. The geometric non-linearity in the de ection theory and the three components of displacement-dependent wind loads are taken into account in the method. The analytical formulas for calculating the torsional, vertical, and lateral responses of suspension bridges under wind loads are derived. An iterative procedure, which has a high convergence rate for solving the problem, is developed. The proposed method is su cient and simple to use. Wind-induced lateral response analysis of a long-span suspension bridge demonstrates the proposed method's e ciency and accuracy.

“…Later, Fivet and Zastavni [39] found that the optimal design of Salginatobel Bridge was achieved by graphically controlling the lines of the arch, minimizing the bending moment of the bridge, and adjusting the location of the foundation block. Buonopane and Billington [40] presented the use of a streamlined girder included to reduce aerodynamic excitation following the collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. This type of structural form has been used in many successive bridge designs, and features higher efficiency and better appearance.…”

“…The steel truss girder is one of the commonly used stiffening girders in suspension bridges. Several long-span suspension bridges with steel truss girder have been constructed all over the world during the last century, such as the Brooklyn Bridge, George Washington Bridge, Golden Gate Bridge 1 and Verrazano Narrows Bridge 2 in the USA, the Forth Road Bridge 3 in the UK, and the Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge 4 in Japan.…”

The Jindong Bridge, crossing the Jinsha River in Yunan Province, China, is a suspension bridge with a main span of 730 m. In this paper, the design and construction of this bridge are introduced. Both tunnel-type and gravity-type anchorages were applied. For installations of main cable strands, the relative altitude difference method was used based on quantified interstrand distances to guarantee sufficient accuracy. In the erection of steel truss girder, segments were connected by temporary hinges. During the installation of RC deck slabs, temporary hinges of girder segments were converted into permanent rigid connections at appropriate moments, which were determined by calculation; half deck slabs were installed symmetrically from both girder ends to the midspan to generate a channel and the rest deck slab was installed in opposite direction. These structural components and construction technologies, as discussed in this paper, represent a suitable choice for other suspension bridges in mountainous areas.
