A cable-stayed bridge is one where the deck is 'held up' by steel tensile cables which fan out from the bridge pylons or towers.
Cable-stayed bridge
The first cable-stayed bridge, which is often considered a precursor to modern cable bridges, was built in 1784 in Germany. However, the first true suspension bridge, which utilized cables to support the deck, was completed in 1820 in Scotland, known as the Menai Suspension Bridge. This type of bridge design has since evolved, leading to the construction of many iconic cable-stayed and suspension bridges around the world.
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.
The Sutong Bridge in China, the longest cable-stayed bridge in the World, has a span of 1,088 metres or 3,570 feet
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.
