    Cable Stayed Bridge

    Cable-stayed bridges have towers that directly connect cables to the deck, holding it up instead of using suspender cables like suspended bridges. They can carry vehicles and people and are used when spans need to be longer than cantilever bridges allow but shorter than requiring a suspension bridge. The first designs date back to the 16th century but many early examples were built in the 19th century. Modern cable-stayed bridge design advanced in the 20th century, with variations including having stays connect from one or both sides, multiple spans, and designs with lower, stiffer towers like extradosed bridges.

    Cable-stayed Bridge - History, Facts and

    Types

    Cable-stayed bridge is a bridge similar to suspended bridge in that it


    has towers and a deck that is held by cables, but its cables hold the
    deck by connecting it directly to the towers instead via suspender
    cables. It usually carries pedestrians, bicycles, automobiles, trucks,
    and light rail. It is used in places where spans need to be longer
    than cantilever bridge can achieve (because of its weight), but the
    span is short enough so a suspension bridge is not practical there
    economically.
    Venetian inventor Fausto Veranzio was the first to design cable
    stayed bridges (he was also the first to design modern suspended
    bridge). He published his works in 1595 in his book Machinae
    Novae. First built cable-stayed bridges appeared in the 19th century
    and many early suspension bridges were cable-stayed
    like footbridge Dryburgh Abbey Bridge, James Dredge's Victoria
    Bridge, in Bath, England (Built in 1836), Albert Bridge (built in 1872)
    and Brooklyn Bridge (1883). Other early cable-stayed bridges in the
    United States were Barton Creek Bridge between Huckabay, Texas
    and Gordon, Texas (built in 1889), bridge over Bluff Dale, Texas, (built
    in 1890a and it still largely stands).
    Constraction of this type of bridge continued into the 20th century
    when where built Cassagnes bridge (designed by A. Gisclard), le
    Coq's bridge at Lzardrieux in Brittany, France (designed by G.
    Leinekugel and built in 1924), and aqueduct at Tempul in 1926.
    Concrete-decked cable-stayed bridge over the Donzre-Mondragon
    canal at Pierrelatte was designed by Albert Caquot in 1952 and was
    one of the first the modern cable-stayed bridges but no other that
    came after, looked up to it. Strmsund Bridge designed by Franz
    Dischinger in 1955 had more influence on the design of the later
    bridges and is more often mentioned as the first modern. Fabrizio de
    Miranda, Riccardo Morandi and Fritz Leonhardt are the design
    pioneers of the modern cable-stayed bridge and their designs had
    very few stay cables which was modern but resulted in higher erection
    costs. Later designs have much more cables which is more economic
    in the terms of building.

    A cable-stayed bridge can be built in different variations:


    A side-spar cable-stayed bridge has only one tower and is
    supported only on one side. One bridge built on this principle is
    bridge in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and is made to carry
    pedestrians. Other is Jerusalem Chords Bridge which is also made
    to be curved which this design allows for.
    Cantilever-spar cable-stayed bridge has a single cantilever
    spar on one side of the span. Its spar is made to resist the bending
    caused by the cables because cable forces of this bridge are not
    balanced by opposing cables and bridge applies large overturning
    force on its foundation. Puente de la Mujer (2001), Sundial Bridge
    (2004) and Chords Bridge (2008), all in Spain, are bridges of this
    type.
    Multiple-span cable-stayed bridge is a cable-stayed bridge
    with more than 3 spans. It is a more complex bridge because the
    loads from the main spans are not anchored back near the end
    abutments. This also makes structure less stiff so additional design
    solutions (like cross-bracing stays and stiff multi-legged frame
    towers) have to be applied.
    Extradosed bridge has stiffer and stronger deck and its cables
    are connected to the deck further from the towers which are also
    lower than those of standard cable-stayed bridges.
    Cable-stayed cradle-system Bridge is one of the newest
    variants. It has so called cradle system which carries the strands
    within the stays from bridge deck to bridge deck. These cables are
    continuous which means that this bridge has no anchorages in the
    pylons and its cables can be removed, inspected and replaced
    individually.
