cable-stayed bridge design

A cable-stayed bridge is a type of suspension bridge where the roadway is supported by cables directly connected to towers or pylons. These cables are arranged in patterns, such as radial or fan-shaped, and transfer the weight of the bridge and traffic to the towers. The towers bear the load and keep the bridge stable, while the cables hold up the deck. This design allows for longer spans without the need for numerous piers in the water, providing both aesthetic appeal and engineering efficiency. Cable-stayed bridges are commonly used for their strength, flexibility, and visually striking appearance.
