Øresund Bridge from Malmö to Copenhagen in Sweden and Denmark. A cable-stayed bridge has one or more towers (or pylons), from which cables support the bridge deck. A distinctive feature are the cables or stays, which run directly from the tower to the deck, normally forming a fan-like pattern or a series of parallel lines.
A cantilever spar cable-stayed bridge is a modern variation of the cable-stayed bridge. This design has been pioneered by the structural engineer Santiago Calatrava in 1992 with the Puente del Alamillo in Seville, Spain.
The suspension bridge's architecture is better at handling the load in the middle of the bridge, while the cable stayed bridge is better suited to handle the load closest to the tower. Combining these two architectural engineering ideas into a hybrid has been done in Istanbul with the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge , and in New York City with the ...
An extradosed bridge employs a structure that combines the main elements of both a prestressed box girder bridge and a cable-stayed bridge. [1] [2]: 85 [3] The name comes from the word extrados, the exterior or upper curve of an arch, and refers to how the "stay cables" on an extradosed bridge are not considered as such in the design, but are instead treated as external prestressing tendons ...
Self-anchored suspension bridge: a modern descendant of the suspension bridge, combining elements of a cable-stayed bridge. The main cables are anchored to the ends of the decks. Taper suspension bridge: a 19th century variant of the suspension bridge where the suspenders pull at an angle to the ground, nearly tangent with the main cable
The Millau Viaduct (French: Viaduc de Millau, IPA: [vja.dyk dÉ™ mi.jo]) is a multispan cable-stayed bridge completed in 2004 across the gorge valley of the Tarn near (west of) Millau in the Aveyron department in the Occitanie Region, in Southern France.
A Stockbridge damper is a tuned mass damper used to suppress wind-induced vibrations on slender structures such as overhead power lines, [1] long cantilevered signs [2] and cable-stayed bridges. The dumbbell-shaped device consists of two masses at the ends of a short length of cable or flexible rod, which is clamped at its middle to the main ...
A side-spar cable-stayed bridge may be an otherwise conventional cable-stayed bridge, but its cable support does not span the roadway, and is instead cantilevered from one side. The Esplanade Riel illustrated is located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. [1] This bridge is intended for pedestrian use only and has a restaurant in its base.
