The primary building materials in cable-stayed bridges are steel, which is used in the cables and also as the reinforcing material in the concrete, which is the other primary building material.

How is the suspension bridge different from most other modern bridges?
In simple terms, cable stayed use less cables then a suspension bridge. They are a combination of both beam and suspension. Suspension bridges hold the "deck" (where vehicles cross), via the cables, hence the term "suspension"; whereas, a cable stayed has the deck connected via the cables to anchorage points.
What are the two types of suspension bridges found in the world?
Cantilever bridgesCable stayed bridges
What kind of bridge is the Zakim Bunker bridge?
i believe it is a cable stayed bridge
What is difference between Harp and fan designs of cable stayed bridge?
In harp type cable stayed bridges the cables running from the deck to the tower run parallel or near parallel and attach to different points on the tower, in fan type bridges the cables all run back to the same point near the top of the tower. The fan type bridges have less horizontal loading on the deck so a lighter and less stiff deck structure is possible but presumably you need a stronger and higher tower, or at least able to support more vertical load high up (not sure I'm not an engineer I just like the aesthetics of these structures!)
Is the Chesapeake Bay Bridge a suspension bridge?
The Oresund Bridge is a Cable-stayed bridge. The primary difference between a suspension bridge and a cable stayed bridge is the load bearing structure. In suspension bridges, this is the cable itself, which transfers the load into large structures set into the earth at the ends of the bridge. In the cable stayed bridge design, the load is taken primarily by the bridge towers. A more detailed explanation of the differences is available in the related link.
Where are cable stayed bridges found?
In suspension bridges
What are two main disadvantages to cable stayed bridges?

What is Cable-stayed bridge function?
The cable-stayed bridge is a type of bridge that is optimal for spans longer than is practical for cantilever bridges, and shorter than is economical for suspension bridges.
What are bridge towers?
Bridge towers are used in suspension bridges or cable stayed bridges. cables, what hold roadway, are fixed there.
What are some advantages and disadvantages of a cable stayed bridge?
The main advantage of a cable-stayed bridge is that it is under compression by the cables which makes it stronger. The main disadvantage of the cable-stayed bridge is that it is more susceptible to wind than other types of bridges.
What 2 bridges are similar in design?
I just found a website that said it was a cable-stayed bridge and a suspension bridge. I wonder why...

What is the advantages and disadvantages of Cable-stayed bridge?
Advantage: It is strong. Also the cables won't break under extreme temperatures. Disadvantages: Wind is a big factor. It can rock the bridge side to side, causing the cables to become lose.
What is the weaknesses of the cable stayed bridge?
it will topple over if there is too much weight on one side ^_^
What do suspension bridges look like?
Suspension bridges look a little bit likecable-stayed bridges.
