Structural Design and Static Analysis of the Cable-stayed Bridge on Xuefu Road

Abstract

The cable-stayed bridge on Xuefu Road is a single-pylon spatial double-cable-plane cable-stayed structure with a main span of 160 m. The main girder is a PK-section flat steel box girder, while the main pylon is made from reinforced concrete. With a width ranging from 46.1 to 57.5 m, it is currently the widest single-pylon cable-stayed bridge with steel box girder in China. A comprehensive review has been conducted on the structural design and static analysis of the cable-stayed bridge on Xuefu Road, which can provide a reference for future projects of a similar nature.
