- Abstract
In 1931, the George Washington Bridge, with a span of 1067 m, was completed, becoming the world's first bridge with a span longer than a kilometer [[11]]. Therefore, there still exists genuine demand for the construction of record-shattering long-span bridges, and bridge engineers will have to grapple with new unique challenges, such as bridge foundations in deep waters and aerodynamic challenges for long-span cable-supported bridges, to name a few. In conclusion, great achievements have been made in the construction of long-span bridges, but bridge engineers still need to embrace new challenges. Girder bridges, arch bridges, cable-stayed bridges, and suspension bridges are the most basic types of bridges.
