Modeling Stayed Bridges PDF
• Cables stretch diagonally between these pillars or towers and the beam
– These cables support the beam
• The cables are anchored in the tower rather than at the end
• Faster to build
• Cable-stayed bridges look futuristic, but the idea for them goes back a long way.
• Stability Conditions
– To prevent sideways and vertical movements of the tower/pylon and deck under asymmetrical live
loading
– Possible to maintain stability of the whole structure by resisting only the horizontal and vertical
components of the forces generated
• You can calculate the length of the remaining cables after the first
cable has been installed by applying the proportionality concept or
the Pythagorean theorem.

– If very soft supports are used, the girder acts like a pendulum. Its fundamental
frequency will be very low.
– Stiffening up the supports and bearings can increase the frequency significantly.
