WHAT DOES CABLE-STAYED BRIDGE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

cable-stayed bridge

Cable-stayed bridge

A cable-stayed bridge has one or more towers, from which cables support the bridge deck. There are two major classes of cable-stayed bridges: harp and fan. In the harp or parallel design, the cables are nearly parallel so that the height of their attachment to the tower is proportional to the distance from the tower to their mounting on the deck. In the fan design, the cables all connect to or pass over the top of the towers. The fan design is structurally superior with minimum moment applied to the towers but for practical reasons the modified fan is preferred especially where many cables are necessary. In the modified fan arrangement the cables terminate near to the top of the tower but are spaced from each other sufficiently to allow better termination, improved environmental protection, and good access to individual cables for maintenance. The cable-stayed bridge is optimal for spans longer than cantilever bridges, and shorter than suspension bridges.

Definition of cable-stayed bridge in the English dictionary

The definition of cable-stayed bridge in the dictionary is a type of suspension bridge in which the supporting cables are connected directly to the bridge deck without the use of suspenders.
