Conceptualization and performance evaluation of a super long span cable-stayed bridge with CFRP cables and CFRP–UHPC composite girders by Xingyu Tan, Zhi Fang, Yifan Chen, Jiaxing Chen

“…Although the initial construction cost is 35.7 % higher, the proposed system offers significant life-cycle economic advantages, with a 21.3 % cost reduction over a 100-year service life. For the proposed structural system, the configuration of the UHPC decks is the primary determinant of superstructure weights; the unit price of the CFRP truss materials significantly influences engineering costs; tensile stress in the UHPC decks and compressive stress in the CFRP main chords are critical factors in terms of mechanical properties. …”
