Cable-Supported Bridges - Challenging Technical Limits
The Conference 'Cable-Supported Bridges', Seoul, 12 -14 June 2001, was organised by the Korean Group of IABSE and the Korea Highway Corporation. It attracted 365 participants from 35 countries.
The theme of the conference was introduced by the Keynote Lecturers: S.P. Chang, Korea; J. E. Roberts, USA; J. Combault, France; M.R. Feng, China; M. Kitagawa, Japan, C.K. Kau, Hong Kong. A Special Session on the recently completed Seohae and Yongyong Bridges in Korea was followed by Concurrent Sessions with the following themes:
• Conceptual Design: Case Studies I
• Conceptual Design: Case Studies II
• Trend and Innovative Ideas
• Static Behaviour
• Analysis Methods
• Aerodynamic Aspects
• Dynamics; Seismic Design
• System Identification, Monitoring and Control
• Construction and Maintenance and Operation.
The Keynote Lectures, papers and posters presented have been collected in a report and are a valuable contribution to the design, construction, operation and maintenance of cable-supported bridges.

Cable supported bridges in the form of suspension bridges and cable-stayed bridges are distinguished by their ability to overcome large spans. This book concentrates on the synthesis of cable supported bridges covering both design and construction aspects. The analytical part covers simple methods to quantify the different structural forms and allows a preliminary optimization of the main structure.
Contents:
Evolution of Cable Supported Bridges.
Cables.
Cable System.
Stiffening Girder.
Pylon.
Cable Anchorage and Connection.
Erection.
References.
Index.

We have written The Channel Tunnel Story from two distinct perspectives. We make no apology for this, but it does merit a little explanation.
Firstly, we wanted to stress that this was a construction project. This may seem an obvious statement, but with so much of the media coverage focused on the financial and legal aspects of the scheme, we felt there was a danger that the huge achievements of the construction workers—10 of whom were killed on the project—would be forgotten. Of course the financial difficulties and contractual rows form a major part of the book.
But in a small way we tried to redress the balance back towards the construction process hence why the three interviews contained in the book are all with people from contractor Transmanche Link—former chief executive Jack Lemley, UK tunnelling director John King, and tunnel miner Graham Fagg.
Secondly, the book is written from a British perspective. This is partly because we have been covering the project for the best part of the last decade from Britain. But it also reflects that the Channel Tunnel was a far more controversial project in Britain than in France. The political opposition was stronger, the interest was greater—indeed in some
strange way the tunnel seemed to threaten a change in Britain’s whole national identity.

Life-Cycle Cost and Performance of Civil Infrastructure Systems
"Life-Cycle Cost and Performance of Civil Infrastructure Systems" ed. by Hyo-Nam Cho, Dan M. Frangopol, Alfredo H-S. Ang
Proceedings of the 5th International Workshop (Balkema: Proceedings and Monographs in Engineering, Water and Earth Sciences)
Taylor & Francis | 2007 | ISBN: 020393220X | 332 pages | PDF | 6 Mb
This bookcontains papers covering a wide range of studies on life-cycle performance analysis, design, maintenance, monitoring, management, and cost of civil infrastructure systems. Topics include reliability and optimization as design basis tools, monitoring systems, life-cycle cost analysis and management, bridge.
The book also discusses seismic reliability analysis of deteriorating structures, bridge inspection strategies, life-cycle cost analysis of structures on a network level, optimal risk-based design of infrastructures, updating bridge reliability using load monitoring data and statistics of extremes, rehabilitation of bridges, and lifetime analysis and structural repair of civil infrastructure systems.
