Expected outcomes

Objectives of the study

To get knowledge on design and analysis of a superstructure of cable-stayed highway
bridge
To know the components of cable-stayed bridge
To have some knowledge of the design specifications for highway bridge published by
American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO)
specifications
To get better knowledge on practices and standards in bridge design
To get detail information on the variation of joint forces in stiffening truss of cablestayed bridge
To be skillful for the way how to use STAAD-Pro software

Scope of the study

Only superstructure of cable-stayed bridge will be designed
AASHTO design specifications and HS 20-44 loading will be used
The preliminary design and joint design will be done by STAAD-Pro software
The effect of thermal change, wind force and earthquake effect will be considered
The variation of joint forces in stiffening truss which mainly supports the floor of
cable-stayed bridge are determined
Anchorage, substructure and construction methods are not involved in this study

Component Parts of Cable-Stayed Bridge

1. Cables
2. Cable System
3. Pylon
4. Stiffening girder or Truss
5. Cable anchorage and Connection

Cables

Cables are the most important elements of a cable-stayed bridge.

They carry the load of the girder and transfer it to the tower and the
back-stay cable anchorage.

Cables are tension members.

Types of cables

Locked coil Strand

New Parallel Wire Strand

Helical Strand

Bar Bundle

Seven Wire Strand

Cable System
Three basic arrangements have been developed for the longitudinal
layout of the stay cables. They are
Radial System
Harp System
Fan System

Number of Cable Planes

The three basic transverse cable of configurations are following;

(a) Single Plane

(b) Double Plane

(c) Triple Plane

Pylon or Tower

The design of the pylon must adapt to the various stay cable layouts.

The primary function of the pylon is to transmit the force arising from
anchoring the stays and these forces will dominate the design of cables.

Tower configurations in the case of the high installation position for girder

Stiffening Girder

The role of the stiffening girder is to transfer the applied loads, self

weight as well as traffic load, into the cable system.

The traffic load is acting on the deck of the girder, and both the dead
load and wind area in most cases are larger for the girder than for the

cable system.

Stiffening girders may be I girders, trusses and box girders.

The stiffening truss will be made as a space truss comprising four

chords connected by four diagonal bracings, two vertical and two
horizontal.

Bracing System

The bracing system used in stiffening trusses are generally the same
as found in the other trusses with constant depth.
Three types of bracing system for the vertical main trusses . They
are
1. Warren truss
2. Pure warren truss
3. Pratt truss
