Comparative Analysis of Cable Stayed Bridge with Different Cable Arrangements

Author Name : Sagar Yadav, U. L. Deshpande

ABSTRACT Among all the types of bridges the cable stayed bridge are basically opted for long spans and aesthetics. These bridges showed stability, desirable use of structural materials, aesthetic in view, comparatively low design and maintenance cost point of view, and providing efficient structural characteristics. The cable-stayed bridges are ideal for ranges longer than cantilever bridges and shorter than suspension bridges. This is where cantilever bridges would quickly become heavier if the range were stretched, while suspension bridge cabling would not be more conservative if the range were abbreviated. The Pylon deals with compressive forces. Pylons are mostly loaded with by compression where concrete pylons are more economical. Tension occurs along the cable lines. Reinforced concrete girder design for Deck member ranges from 200m to 400m are generally considered economical. Multiple design choices are available for Designer and Architecture.
