Preface

Throughout the last decades, the increasing development of the urban metropolis and the importance
of establishing fundamental infrastructure networks promoted the development of important infrastructure projects worldwide and several multi-span large bridges have been erected. Some are
sea-crossing bridges, some are long viaducts and others include both sea-links and large viaducts.
Moreover, due to their significant benefits to society, multi-span large bridges are being studied
for potential execution in several countries over the next decades. Some are already underway.
There are definitely several problems/solutions which are common to the wider field of bridge
engineering and certainly many lessons emerge from there. However, the approach to multi-span
large bridges comprises a specific knowledge in design, construction and managing points of view,
where the scale – large – the repetition property – multi-span – and the frequent inclusion of main
bridges – demand integrated solutions to satisfy society’s requests.
The aim of the Multi-Span Large Bridges International Conference is to aggregate experts and
experiences in a global meeting where the outputs – interaction and documents – are to effect an
increase in the performance and knowledge of all participants.
There is also the purpose of sharing state-of-the-art achievements not necessarily originating in
this specific field of bridge engineering, but which clearly demonstrate a potential for application
in multi-span large bridges.
The increasing demand on safety, time and economic issues represents a challenge to all subcommunities of bridge engineers. In the particular case of the Multi-Span Large Bridges experts
community, the knowledge is actually somehow limited to a restricted number of companies and
entities in dispersed countries – sometimes only with singular, but important, experiences. That
is the main goal of the conference: merge knowledge of disperse experiences. To this end,
worldwide prestigious bridge engineers, from different regions of the world, were invited to share
their experiences. Nearly 150 contributions from designers, constructors, members of academia and
researchers were selected within an intensive undertaking of the conference’s Scientific Committee,
who reviewed papers of more than 400 authors. These contributions were organized in 13 thematic
sessions, as follows:
•
•

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Experts, Experiences & Landmark projects
Conceptual design
Innovative construction methods
Special foundations and geotechnical site investigations
Life cycle
Monitoring, maintenance and management
Incidents and accidents
Durability
New materials and special devices
Extreme loads
Rehabilitation
Safety and serviceability
Structural analysis

All the papers were peer reviewed by the Scientific Committee which, itself, also comprises
distinguished bridge engineers and academics from more than 30 countries.
Multi-Span Large Bridges is already a fact for the bridge engineering worldwide community –
more than 50 countries are actively involved. An important part of the shared knowledge is in

this book.

General presentation of the Keynote Lectures

Since an early stage of the Conference preparation, it was established, as a priority, that some of
the most prestigious and experimented Bridge Engineers worldwide could share their knowledge
and vision in the Conference.
The invitation criteria comprised the intention of benefiting of different experiences, from diverse
countries.
The 10 invited Key Note Speakers are presented in the following paragraphs in a sequence that
respects the antiquity of their activity in Bridge Engineering, with no further criteria.
The very summarized presentations don’t need additional words – they talk by themselves.
After this introduction of the Invited Key Note Speakers, manuscripts are presented for 8 of the
Key Note Lectures. An additional Lecture of one of the Editors is added.
