Cable Stayed Bridge – Types, Components and Construction

Vinod Gopinath

A cable stayed bridge is a modern engineering marvel known for its strength, efficiency, and aesthetic appeal. It uses one or more towers to support the bridge deck through a series of cables, which transfer the load directly to the foundation. Unlike suspension bridges, the cables in a cable stayed bridge connect directly from the deck to the towers in a straight line. This design provides greater rigidity, making it ideal for long spans and challenging terrain.
