ANALYSIS OF CABLE
STAYED BRIDGES
1
2. Introduction
Usually ,these approximately span for a length of
200 to 800 m
Cable stayed bridges, modern type of bridge consists
of a continuous strong beams.
A cable-stayed bridge has one or more towers, from
which cables support the bridge deck.
The cables stretch diagonally between the pillars
and the beams.
The cables are anchored in the tower rather than at
the end.

Requires less cables than a suspension bridge.
Constructed using concrete, steel and composite
construction.
Widely used type is pre-cast concrete structure.
Can be constructed faster.
6. Advantages of cable stayed bridge
Used for larger span.
Greater stiffness that suspension bridge , so
deformation of deck under live load is reduced
Cantilever type of construction is followed.
Cables act as both temporary and permanent
support
Symmetrical bridge, the horizontal forces are
balance hence no large ground anchorage needed

Based on pylon

2.H- type
3. Y-type
Based on arrangement of cable

Pylons - support the weight and live load acting on
the structure
They are chosen based on the structure, aesthetics,
length, and other environmental parameters.
Pylons can be classified into two categories:
a) Steel Pylon
b) Concrete Pylon
14. Steel and concrete pylon
14
Steel Pylons: steel boxes were used for construction
and bridges took the form of a steel portal frame.
Restraint is largely unnecessary as sufficient
transverse restraint can be provided within the stay
itself.
Concrete Pylons: Concrete is very efficient when
supporting loads in axial compression.
high self-weight of the structure
15. Bridge deck
15
The deck can be made of different materials such as
steel, concrete or composite steel concrete.
choice of material- the overall cost of the
construction
weight of the deck- required stay cables, pylons, and
foundations.
Steel-concrete girders are attached by transverse
steel beams.
The precast reinforced concrete deck is supported by
the main girders
16. Cont…

This type of composite steel-concrete deck has more
advantages as follow:
weight of a composite deck is less than a concrete
deck.
The light steel girders can be erected before applying
the heavy concrete slab.
The stay cables have more resistance against
rotation anchoring to the outside steel main girders.
The redistribution of compression forces due to
shrinkage and creep onto the steel girders is
minimized by using the precast slab.
22. Forces acting on the bridge
Dead load
Live load
Wind load
Seismic load
This leads to
Bending moment
Shear force
Deflection
22
23. Dead load
Own weight itself and all the parts and materials that
are used in the construction of bridge. The material
and parts that are self-modeled, their loads are
modeled separately to cover entire or actual self-
weight of the bridge.

24. Live load
Indian Road Congress IRC: 6-2017 code is referred
for the moving load analysis of these cable stayed
bridge models. According to IRC specification for
two lanes, the live load combination of moving load
for two lanes both way traffic is Class 70R (W) on
one lane and Class A on both lanes.
24
25. Modeling
Two different types of structural model
1. spine model
2. area object model
In spine model, the maximum positive shear force
differ from negative shear force, because spine
model is based on frame object
The maximum positive and negative shear force
in area object model is same because it is based
on area object.
25
26. Shear force
Cable stayed bridge is analyzed with spine model and
area object model. This shear force is developed due
to combination of dead load and live load.
The value of maximum positive shear force is nearly
10% less in case of area object model than to spine
model.
Center of deck – spine model
Ends of the deck – object model
26
27. Bending moment
In spine model and area object model the maximum
positive bending moment is almost same.
The value of maximum negative bending moment is
nearly 17% less in case of area object model as
compared to spine model.
Maximum bending – centre of bridge.
27
28. Deflection
The maximum deflection - centre of span,
combination of dead load and live load
The increasing percentage of deflection in area object
model is more than 4%

29. Analysis
Linear method of analysis of cable stayed bridges
Non-linear method of analysis of cable stayed
bridges
Strain energy method
STAAD Pro software

30. Linear analysis
Numerical type problem.
Practically, cannot be used since the effect of
dynamic properties are not consider.
Easy than other methods.
30
31. Non- linear analysis
Considers all dynamic properties.
Time history analysis and Modal analysis .
To over come vibration due to earthquake, wind and
tides dampers are placed.
31
32. Strain energy method
The method uses the potential energy of the stayed
girder with an iterative procedure.
It was found that the iterative procedure is
convergent and that a small number of Fourier terms
is sufficient.

33. STAAD Pro analysis
Most widely used in recent days
Easy and accurate results
Less time consuming
Steps in STAAD Pro
• a)Draw the geometry of the bridge by inserting
coordinates.
• b) Define the materials and sections for the members
• c) Define the loading values to be applied on the
structures.
• d) Now assign the defined section as the members.
• e) After assigning everything, set the analysis to be
carried out and press run analysis.

STAAD Pro will generate the various results like joint
displacements, joint behavior of the different shapes
of pylon forces, joint reactions, base reactions, deck
force, axial forces in cables and pylons, bending
moment in pylon, shear force in pylon, mode shapes
etc.
35. Tests on cable stayed bridge
Wind tunnel test
Fatigue test
Tension load test on strands
Inspection of anchorage
Checking hardness of welds
Rotative flexion test

36. Conclusion
Cable stayed bridges are economical than suspension
bridges.
Area object method is more accurate than spine
method.
Cable stayed bridges are more stiffer.
STAAD Pro widely used for analysis of cable stayed
bridges.
Other methods are tedious and are becoming
obsolete.
