Up　to　June　2022,　a　total　of　492　concrete-filled　steel　tube　(CFST)　arch　bridges　with　a　span　length　no　less　than　50 m　were　investigated　in　this　paper.　The　statistical　results　show　that　both　the　numbers　and　the　span　lengths　of　CFST　arch　bridges　in　China　are　increasing.　The　conventional　five　types　of　CFST　bridges,　i.e.,　deck　arch　bridge,　half-through　arch　bridge,　arch-girder　composite　bridge,　fly-bird-type　arch　bridge,　and　through　rigid-framed　tied　arch　bridge,　are　still　the　majority　of　the　CFST　arch　bridges.　The　cross-sectional　form　of　main　arch　ribs　includes　single　tube,　dumbbell-shape,　and　truss.　Material　strength　of　arch　rib　is　constantly　improving,　the　majority　of　steel　strength　is　Q345,　and　the　majority　concrete　strength　is　C50　and　C55.　The　mainly　used　construction　methods　include　cantilever　method,　swing　method,　and　scaffolding　method,　in　which　the　cantilever　method　has　the　maximum　application　together　with　the　widest　span.　Finally,　two　CFST　arch　bridges　are　introduced　as　case　studies,　which　have　the　span　length　record　of　half-through　and　fly-bird-type　CFST　arch　bridges.　©　2023,　The　Author(s),　under　exclusive　license　to　Springer　Nature　Singapore　Pte　Ltd.
