Revised and updated, this text presents a synthesis of cable supported bridges, supplemented by simple analytical methods to quantify the different structural forms. These methods are essential for preliminary design work in order to assess varying parameters and how they effect the structure. They enable designers to compare different structural systems at a very early stage in the design process. New results included cover wind tunnel and computer models (including simulations of ship manoeuvres).
