Abstract

The use of advanced composite materials in the design and construction of cable stayed bridges in general, and pedestrian bridges in particular, is discussed in direct comparison to the use of conventional materials. Designs of two cable stayed bridges and one stress ribbon bridge are used to evaluate potential weight reductions of advanced composite bridge superstructures over conventional reinforced concrete designs. A critical view is taken on the future of advanced composites in cable stayed pedestrian bridge applications.
