CABLE-STAYED BRIDGE
Suspension bridge
Forces: As traffic pushes down on the roadway, the cables, to which the
roadway is attached, transfer the load to the towers, putting them in
compression. Tension is constantly acting on the cables, which are stretched
because they are attached to the roadway.
Advantages: good for medium spans, greater stiffness than the suspension
bridge, can be constructed by cantilevering out from the tower, horizontal
forces balance so large ground anchorages are not required.

CONSTRUCTION STAGES
1) Construction of Pile foundation at common pier and pylon location.
2) Setup of fabrication yard for steel.
3) Construction of common pier and concrete portion of pylon.
4) Erection of Temporary trestles to support RCC back span.
5) Cast RCC back span up to common pier-2.
6) Once concrete of back span achieves full strength steel pylons will be erected on top of RCC main beams.
7) 12m panels for the 124m span will be brought in and will be placed and connected with already in place back
span with the help of erection tackles.
8) 1st three pair of cables will be anchored at predetermined position of girders and pylons and will be stressed to
desired level.
9) RCC deck slab will be cast. ,
10) Once deck slab achieves desired strength subsequent panels (up to 9th panel) will be brought in one by one
and will be positioned with the help of erection tackles. Corresponding set of cables will also be installed and
stressed and deck slab concreting will be done.
11) Last panel will be erected spanning between 9th panel and common pier-1. Remove Temporary supports.
12) Cast deck slab on top of already erected last panels with shear studs for composite action.
13) Second stage stressing will be done to obtain target deflected shape of the span.
14) Complete miscellaneous work e.g. crash barrier, railing, wearing course, illumination etc
15) Third stage stressing will be done to minimize bending moments.
16) Open to traffic

IRC-06 2010
For live load analysis linear model has been created by replacing cable
elements with truss elements. At the end of analysis it is ensured that all
the cable are in net tension.
Seismic Load Analysis
For seismic loading modal analysis with response spectrum method has
been used. Natural frequency which is equal to First mode is equal to 0.51
Hz and time period T = 1.95 sec. Response spectrum curve has been
taken from IRC-06 2010. Damping coefficient of 3% has been adopted for
steel structure.
Seismic Load Analysis
In Larsa4D we have simulated this construction stages so as to get more realistic analysis.
As cable elements have been used which are nonlinear in nature, nonlinear analysis has
been carried out at each stage.

Objective of Wind Tunnel Study
Based on the preliminary Aerodynamic Studies as stated in
Part I Report Submitted by CRRI, the bridge is not
susceptible to classical flutter and galloping
Buffeting, Vortex Induced Oscillation- Limited Amplitude
Oscillation
The Amplitude of vortex induced oscillation is vey low and
not likely to cause discomfort to users
Using Frequency Domain Approach, peak buffeting
response was estimated as 0.160m for assumed
aerodynamic force coefficients terrain roughness ( plain
terrain, surface roughness parameter =0.005m)
To obtain the steady state force coefficients for bridge
deck
(drag, lift and moment coefficient )
