Stress ribbon and cable supported pedestrian bridges looks at how slender concrete deck is used in the design of suspension and cable stayed structures. It looks at their characteristic feature; their rigidity, which is mainly given by the tension stiffness of prestressed concrete decking so much so that movement caused by pedestrians or wind does not register as discomfort by users. Starting with a brief history the title describes structural types, addresses general design criteria, current technology, static and dynamic analysis and discusses the results of the static and dynamic loading tests. Illustrated throughout, stress ribbon and cable supported pedestrian bridges provide examples of outstanding structures, which have been recently completed. The book will be of value to students who wish to delve into the background behind the current loading rules, practising engineers who wish to understand the premises upon which the rules are based and researches who wish to develop the subject further.
