Cable-stayed bridges are strong due to their design, which distributes loads efficiently through cables that are anchored to tall towers, or pylons. The cables create tension that counteracts the forces acting on the bridge, allowing it to support heavy loads with less material than other bridge types. This efficient load distribution minimizes bending moments and enhances stability, making cable-stayed bridges both robust and lightweight. Additionally, the use of high-strength materials contributes to their durability and performance under various conditions.
What else can I help you with?
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 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 ^_^
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 makes bridges towers strong?
the cements,bricks and glasses makes bridges towers strong
What properties of steel makes alloys useful for the cable and towers of the Golden Gate Bridges?
Because It Is A Strong Alloy ThereFore It Is The Best In Its Group To Do The Job.
What makes a curve so strong?
A curve is so strong because when you apply a force on top of the curve the weight of that forced is transferred to the bottom parts of the curve which makes it really strong like bridges that use arcs
What are the pros and cons of a cable stayed bridge?
some cons are that they can cost a lost which makes industries not want to support them and they have a limited amount of space
How is the suspension bridge different from most other bridges?
The full weight load is supported by vertical pillars, which makes them very strong.
What makes tower bridges stable?
Because tower bridges have a big base
How and why is iron important?
Iron is important because it makes steel for steel is made of 98% iron. It is also used in buildings, bridges and other objects that need to be strong.
What mineral mAKES steel bridges?
the same mineral that makes steel.
