Fourteen years on from its last edition, Cable Supported Bridges: Concept and Design, Third Edition, has been significantly updated with new material and brand new imagery throughout. Since the appearance of the second edition, the focus on the dynamic response of cable supported bridges has increased, and this development is recognised with two new chapters, covering bridge aerodynamics and other dynamic topics such as pedestrian-induced vibrations and bridge monitoring. This book concentrates on the synthesis of cable supported bridges, suspension as well as cable stayed, covering both design and construction aspects. The emphasis is on the conceptual design phase where the main features of the bridge will be determined. Based on comparative analyses with relatively simple mathematical expressions, the different structural forms are quantified and preliminary optimization demonstrated. This provides a first estimate on dimensions of the main load carrying elements to give in an initial input for mathematical computer models used in the detailed design phase. Key features: Describes evolution and trends within the design and construction of cable supported bridges Describes the response of structures to dynamic actions that have attracted growing attention in recent years Highlights features of the different structural components and their interaction in the entire structural system Presents simple mathematical expressions to give a first estimate on dimensions of the load carrying elements to be used in an initial computer input This comprehensive coverage of the design and construction of cable supported bridges provides an invaluable, tried and tested resource for academics and engineers.

The main objectives of 2013 International Conference on Transportation (ICTR2013) are to bring together representatives of transportation engineering , of various institutions, universities, industry and professional associations, to debate and exchange experience on important conference topics. Another main objective of ICTR2013 consists of providing a good networking opportunity to all these groups. The ICTR2013 became a major conference to exchang e new ideas of transportation in Asia researchers and provide a form to present their new results in transportation engineering, vehicle operation engineering, transportation planning, traffic information engineering and control, pavement and bridge engin eering and other related topics. ICTR2013 is held in Xianning, China from December 4 to 6, 2013 sponsored by Shanghai Jiaotong University and DES t ech Publishing Inc. In the first edition of the ICTR2013 189 papers were submitted, 69 of which were accepted . In addition to the authors that were present at the conference, researchers from universities and institutions also send papers. The organizing committee hopes this conference proceedings will provide readers a broad overview of the latest advances on tr ansportation. The organizing committee also believes this conference proceedings would be a good reference for academic researchers and industrial professionals in these fields. The ICTR2013 organizing committee would like to express our sincere appreciat ions to all authors for their contributions to this conference. We would like to extend our thanks to all the referees for their constructive comments on all papers. Finally, we would like to thank DES t ech publishing Inc . for producing this conference proc eeding. We hope you will have a unique, rewarding and enjoyable weekend at ICTR2013 in Xianning, China.
