Loadings and materials used for design of cable-stayed bridges are discussed. The effects of highway and railroad loadings and their special considerations, seismic effects, and dynamic wind load effects are thoroughly presented and guidelines for design given. A chapter on stability of cable-stayed bridges, as well as cable materials, their testing, strength, fatigue strength, and behavior of anchorages is included.

L'essor remarquable que les ponts haubannés connaissent depuis quelques décennies est dû au fait que ces ouvrages d'art permettent de franchir de grans obstacles de manière élégante et économique. Plus récemment, il s'est avéré que ce type de pont peut également être compétitif pour de petites et moyennes portées. Après un bref aperçu historique, cet ouvrage est consacré à la réalisation des ponts haubannés. On aborde entre autres les aspects de la conception générale et de la technologie, ainsi que le calcul statique et dynamique. Une partie importante de ce livre se rapporte aux études théoriques et expérimentales effectuées EPFL, concernant le développement de ponts haubannés modenes à tabliers pinces.

Even among legendary engineers, the Roebling family stands out. The brilliant and irascible patriarch John A. Roebling achieved renown as a canal engineer, bridge designer, and innovator of wire rope—a technology that makes possible modern suspension bridges, high-rise elevators, construction cranes, and cable cars. All four of John's sons inherited the family business, but only the eldest—the reserved, thoughtful Washington—staked an independent claim to fame, most notably for his work on the iconic Brooklyn Bridge. Between 1893 and 1907, Washington Roebling wrote about his father's life, character, career, and achievements with candor and intimate family details. Part biography, part memoir, Washington Roebling's Father makes available for the first time the text of this remarkable manuscript. Donald Sayenga, an internationally recognized authority on the history of wire rope, has painstakingly transcribed theoriginal manuscript and tracked down annotations for hundreds ofpeople, places, events, and technologies. Washington Roebling's Father: A Memoir of John A. Roebling is both an accurate and complete biography of John and a frank narrative of Washington 's memories and inner life. As a rare glimpse into the genius and failings of two towering figures, this book is a must-read for civil engineers, bridge enthusiasts, and industrial historians. Other Editions This book is also available in a German edition at the publisher's online bookstore.
