The Development of Cable-Stayed Bridges Since John Röbling

This document discusses the history and development of cable-stayed bridges from their origins with John Röbling's early designs of stiffened suspension bridges in the 1800s to modern bridges with record spans. Key developments included the first modern cable-stayed bridge in Sweden in 1950s, Germany's Düsseldorf bridge family in the 1960s that pioneered new designs, and the massive Millau bridge in France in 2004 with the longest series of cable-stayed spans. The largest cable-stayed bridge to date is the 2008 Sutong Bridge in China with a record center span of 1088 meters.
