Abstract

There is a general consensus among bridge engineers that the super-long span bridge should be based on the cable load-bearing system, especially in the kilometer span. Cable-stayed bridges and suspension bridges have numerous engineering applications. As for recent highway suspension bridges, the span record is frequently refreshed. In comparison, suspension bridges are more competitive in spanning.
