STATIC AND DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF CABLE
STAYED BRIDGES

Because of its aesthetic appeal, economic grounds and ease of erection, the
cable-stayed bridge is considered as the most suitable construction type for
mid- and large bridges spanning from 200 m to about 1000 m.
These bridges proved more economic, for moderate spans, than either the
suspension or arch bridge forms.
The tallest cable-stayed bridge in the world, Millau Viaduct with the tallest
pier 341 metres tall and roadway 270 metres high, spanning the Tarn River in
France has been completed in December 2004. Millau Viaduct has a total
length of 2460m with seven towers and eight spans
Objectives of Analytical Study
To study the behavior of Cable stayed Bridges of different shaped pylon (A
and H shape ) for different spans of bridges.
Carrying out static and time history and Moving load analysis for different
configuration of bridges.
To study Time period and Natural frequency for different mode shapes.
To study Maximum pylon deflection.
To study Longitudinal and lateral reaction at pylon bottom.

CABLE ARRANGEMETNS
Different types of cable-stayed bridges are discussed based on the
arrangement of stay cables including harp, fan, and semi-fan.

TYPICAL CABLE STAYED BRIDGE MODEL

H-Shape pylon with span of 220mts and Pylon Height of span/4
CONCLUIONS BASED ON ANALYTICAL
STUDY
Time period of vibration of cable-stayed bridges (under static load) increases with increase
in span and decreases with decrease in height of pylon. Pylon shape does not seem to have
any significant effect on the time period.
The frequency of vibration of cable-stayed bridges under dead load is higher for lesser
Span, pylon height does have with decrease in pylon height, and frequency is seen to
increase. Pylon shape does not have any considerable effect on the frequency.
It can be observed that for pylon heights of span/3, the pylon top deflection is more in case
of A-pylons and less in case of H pylons. Thus, it can be accurately inferred that H-shaped
pylons have higher stiffness that its A-shaped pylons. In all other cases it found to be same.
It can be noticed that the maximum deflection of deck increases with increase in the span
irrespective of pylon shape and pylon height
