This book presents 108 canyon bridges that best represent the highest level of bridge construction in China and is divided into four chapters including suspension bridge, cable-stayed bridge, arch bridge and beam bridge. It introduces the definition of canyon bridge for the first time and gives an overview of each bridge's structural characteristics, design and construction techniques, as well as management and maintenance measures. Furthermore, this book provides elevation layout drawings and real view pictures. Chinese version of this book was awarded “Fan Lichu Book Prize” by Bridge and Structure Committee of China Civil Engineering Society in August 2020. It is the first book accounting of canyon bridges and appeals to a wide readership, from bridge designers and engineers to the general public who has interests to learn bridge construction in mountainous areas.

The book takes time as the axis, selecting 98 bridges (or bridge groups) across the country and 7 representative bridges out of the country, reflecting the steps and development of China's bridge construction in related majors and engineering technicians in colleges and universities. This book aims to let the general public understand the arduous history of China's bridge construction and the rapid development of China's bridge construction without the country's economic development, strength, and hard work of the bridge people. It is also hoped that the public will enjoy the convenience of bridges, highways, railroads, and urban roads and at the same time enhance their awareness of bridge knowledge, knowledge, love, and scientific use of bridges. This book is used by the general public to understand the development of China's bridge construction, but also as a reference book for teachers and students of bridge engineering-related majors and engineering technicians in colleges and universities.
