Here is the definitive resource used worldwide for the design of cable-stayed bridges. The fifth edition includes several significant additions, including modified bending and fatigue testing provisions, new capacity reduction factors, high seismic potential and demand, and limited conditions of extrados bridges and addresses the minimum requirements for stay anchor pipes.

The fifth edition still follows the load and resistance factor design format of the fourth edition. Updates include material supply requirements, wind provisions that explicitly address cable provisions, clarified provisions for cable loss conditions, and updates for cable installation reflecting current in-place assembly methods. Revisions in Chapter 7 incorporate the findings of a National Cooperative Highway Research Program synthesis on cable maintenance.
