Bridge design and construction technologies have experienced
remarkable developments in recent decades, and numerous long-span
bridges have been built or are under construction all over the
world. Cable-supported bridges, including cable-stayed bridges and
suspension bridges, are the main type of these long-span bridges,
and are widely used in highways crossing gorges, rivers, and gulfs,
due to their superior structural mechanical properties and
beautiful appearance. However, cable-supported bridges suffer from
harsh environmental effects and complex loading conditions, such as
heavier traffic loads, strong winds, corrosion effects, and other
natural disasters. Therefore, the lifetime safety evaluation of
these long-span bridges considering the rigorous service
environments is an essential task. Features: Presents a
comprehensive explanation of system reliability evaluation for all
aspects of cable-supported bridges. Includes a comprehensive
presentation of the application of system reliability theory in
bridge design, safety control, and operational management.
Addresses fatigue reliability, dynamic reliability and seismic
reliability assessment of bridges. Presents a complete
investigation and case study in each chapter, allowing readers to
understand the applicability for real-world scenarios. Reliability
and Safety of Cable-Supported Bridges provides a comprehensive
application and guidelines for system reliability techniques in
cable-supported bridges. Serving as a practical educational
resource for both undergraduate and graduate level students,
practicing engineers, and researchers, it also intends to provide
an intuitive appreciation for probability theory, statistical
methods, and reliability analysis methods.
