Advanced techniques on design and construction of cable supported bridges

This document contains information of a course given in Kuala Lumpur ( Malaysia ) in April, 2003. Throughout the sessions, a historical evolution of suspension bridges and cable-stayed bridges along with their present status are discussed. Then the design review of each of the elements that make up these structures is done along with the current examples of constructed bridges. Structural analyses of bridges are emphasized as well as aeroelastic study, especially their stability against wind action. The last sessions were dedicated to describing some of the great projects of this structural type.
