Abstract Using nonlinear numerical methods, the structural systems of cables system, stiffening beams, pylons, and bearing systems are comparatively analyzed. This study demonstrates the technical feasibility of suspension bridges with a 3 500 m main span and Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) main cables. Using fine finite element structural simulation, the parameter sensibility of a suspension bridge structural system with a 3 500 m main span and CFRP main cables is analyzed, and the influence of structural parameters on the static and dynamic performance of super-long span suspension bridges is discussed. In combination with numerical analysis of a structural system model, the optimum structural system of a suspension bridge with a 3 500 m main span and CFRP main cables is determined. The physical model is set up to allow theoretical measurements of the anchorage, sliding, and bending moment of the CFRP main cable strands as well as static load and fatigue testing. A bond-type anchorage that can be applied to real bridges is developed, which has an anchorage efficiency coefficient of 100%. The sliding resistance and bending performances are verified: the frictional coefficient between CFRP main cable strand and saddle is about 0.5, the frictional coefficient between the CFRP main cable strand and clamp is up to 0.331, the bending strength of the CFRP wire at the saddle point is over 90% of its tensile strength, and there is almost no bending problem at the clamp. A bridge prototype design is produced based on the test results.
