Design of the Superstructure of the New San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge Suspension Span

摘要

Analytically, geometrically, and in the design of practical details for fabrication and durability, the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge is a unique structure requiring unique solutions and departures from conventional design. Whether a similar bridge will ever again be proposed is unknown. However, the set of methods and technologies developed to meet these challenges offers an illustrative study of design for excellence.
