Abstract:

Superlong cable-stayed bridge span is defined as one over 1000 meters. Problems requiring special attention regarding these bridges are discussed, namely: excessive cable sag; high axial compressive force in girder and in tower; torsional rigidity; lateral rigidity; aerodynamic stability, and difficulties in construction.
