Aesthetic Considerations of Long Span Prestressed Bridges at the Conceptual Design Phase

The conceptual design phase of a bridge project is where the foundation for excellent aesthetics and structural efficiency is established. This early stage defines critical design elements such as the overall geometry, alignment, structural depth, and span length. These choices not only influence the structural performance and cost-effectiveness of the bridge but also shape its […]

Corrosion and Protection of Suspension Bridge Cables

Suspension bridges are renowned for their strength, flexibility, and capacity to span long distances. At the heart of their structural integrity lie the main cables, which carry the load of the bridge deck and transfer it to the towers and anchorages. However, these vital components are vulnerable to corrosion, a leading factor in the deterioration
