Design and Analysis of Cable Stayed Bridge

Cable stayed bridge were firstly developed in Germany during post-world war years, due to shortage of materials like steel. With the introduction of high strength steel, orthotropic type decks, Development of welding techniques & progress in structural analysis and above mentioned shortage of steel in post-world war years the successful introduction of cable stayed bridges is possible. Cable stayed bridges were highly statically indeterminate structures and in order to find out exact solution of these highly indeterminate systems and analyse the cable stayed bridge the electronic computers played a very vital role
