Jiu-Jiang Yangtze River Highway Bridge, with a main span of 818m, is another long span hybrid girder cable-stayed bridge which connects Jiang Xi province and Hu Bei province in China. Steel box girder is adopted in main span and north side span, and main girder of south side span and south tower nearby is designed of concrete box girder. The pylon is concrete structure, with the height of 242.3m and H-shape. There are 216 cables used in this bridge, of which are assembled by parallel strands. Jiu-Jiang Yangtze River Highway Bridge began to construct in 2009, and was closed in December, 2012. The bridge opened to traffic officially in the next year. Design concept, construction method and vibration control measures about Jiu-Jiang Yangtze River Highway Bridge are introduced in this article.

E-dong Yangtze River Highway Bridge is a compound double Tower Double Suspension Cable stayed bridge with a main-span of 926m. it has very distinctive geometric nonlinearity, which features as a long span, a high Tower, a soft construction, etc. in order to analyze how the geometric nonlinearity will affect the live load effect of large-span cable stayed bridge, we adopted the experimental results of the static experiments of the E-dong bridge to do a comparative analysis, during which all the calculation was based on the limited Factor theory. And the results showed that, the nonlinear results fit much better with the actual response of large-span cable stayed bridge, while the linear results produced a big difference.

Cable anchorages are among the most important elements in a cable-stayed bridge, which are complex in structure and bear heavy load. There are three main forms in anchorage zone between girder and cable in modern long-span cable-stayed bridge with steel box girder, which are ear-plate form, anchor-box form and anchor-plate form. Combining theoretical analysis with the static test, static behavior and stress transfer pathway of three typical cable-to-girder anchorages were analyzed, and the differences of stress distribution and stress concentration among anchorage zones were pointed out. Based on the Von.Mises strength criterion, bearing safety of three typical cable-to-girder anchorages was evaluated. Finally, the measures to reform stress distribution and reduce stress concentration are discussed. Some useful conclusions were obtained, which would benefit the design of cable-to-girder anchorages.

For steel box girder of cable-stayed bridge, which using incremental launching method, during the launching process, structural system and boundary conditions were changing, structure mechanical behaviors were complex. It was necessary to conduct a comprehensive analysis on internal force and deformation of the whole structure during the launching process. Took a cable-stayed bridge with single tower, double cable planes and steel box girder in China as an example; finite element software MIDAS Civil 2010 was used to establish a model for steel box girder, simulation analysis of the entire incremental launching process was carried out. Variation rules and envelopes of the internal force, stress, deformation and support reaction were obtained. The result showed that: the maximum value of positive bending moment after launching complete was 60% of the maximum value of positive bending moment during the launching process. The maximum value of negative bending moment after launching complete was 78% of the maximum value of negative bending moment during the launching process.

As part of a major renovation programme of critical highway infrastructure in the Netherlands, the Tacitus Bridge at Ewijk, a 1055-metre-long orthotropic steel box girder deck of ten spans, with a main cable-stayed span of 270 metres, has undergone extensive strengthening and refurbishment. Due to the presence of micro-fissure defects identified in the existing lock coiled stay cables and an increase in permanent load on the bridge deck resulting from the addition of a high strength concrete overlay acting compositely with the orthotropic steel deck, it was concluded that the existing stay cables needed replacement. This paper presents the analytical approach developed to verify that the existing stay cables could be removed with no additional temporary supports and the use of advanced non-linear techniques to predict and monitor the performance of the bridge during each step of destressing the existing stay cables and of tensioning the new parallel strand cables.

In this study, a distributed optical fiber sensing technique based on Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA) is used to construct a complete bridge health monitoring system by continuously laying distributed sensing fiber lines in a steel box girder. The bridge scaffolding dismantling process is monitored to study the variation of the strain distribution. Additionally, a bridge finite element model is built to simulate the bridge scaffolding removed condition, and the strain distribution of the long-span steel box girder viaduct after scaffolding dismantling is compared with the measured values. This study provides a reference for monitoring the scaffolding dismantling process based on BOTDA technology.

The Odawara Port Bridge is located at the mouth of Odawara Port. Selecting a bridge type that symbolized the entire project and blended well with the surrounding area was critical. To achieve this, an extra-dosed prestressed concrete box girder with a main span of 122 m was selected. Construction of this bridge type is the first in the world. Special characteristics of this bridge type are a lower tower height than that of a cable-stayed bridge, the use of a saddle at the top of the towers, and the incorporation of epoxy-coated strands for diagonal cables. The design of the various sections of the bridge was achieved by integrating the characteristic shape of the towers with cable profiles while establishing horizontal continuity with the main girder. As a result of the integration process, the following design objectives were adopted: (a) constant main girder depth; (b) inverted trapezoidal main girder cross section; (c) towers without a connecting beam at the top; (d) a fan-shaped saddle; (e) compact cable vibration dampers; (f) graded metallic coloring of cables; (g) integrated steel railing and road surface lighting; (h) nighttime bridge lighting, and (i) encased drainage pipes.
