The current and future trends in long-span bridge design in China is introduced with the emphases on recent long-span bridge projects, bridge deck configuration and material, design codification of long-span bridges and improvement of aerodynamic performance. The recent long-span bridge projects include thirty-six completed suspension, cable-stayed and arch bridges with a main span over 400m, and ten major bridges under construction. The bridge deck configuration and material are then presented with prestressed concrete decks, steel-concrete composite decks and steel box decks together with several popular cross sections. In the third part, four design specifications including static and dynamic design for highway long-span bridges are briefly outlined. The recent engineering experience gained from several aerodynamic vibration control projects of long-span bridges is shared in the last part.
