Kung mapapansin natin, ito yung deck ng bridge na sinuportahan nung mga diagonal cables. Kumbaga, yung mga
cables na yan ay in tension na nagta-transfer ng loads sa mga vertical towers

Speaking of spans, itong mga cable-stayed bridge ay mas mahabang span capacity kumpara ibang bridge like truss,
arch, girder pero uh di mas mahahaba sa mga suspension bridges

History

The Strömsund Bridge in Sweden, completed in 1956 with a 182-meter (597-foot) main span, is considered the first
modern cable-stayed bridge. For the following 65 years, cable-stayed bridges have seen a dramatic increase in both
the number of new structures and in long-span achievements. https://www.youtube.com/watch?

In Europe, Finley’s concept was released by Thomas Pope in A Treatise on Bridge

Architecture and was developed in England starting with the Dryburgh Abbey Bridge,
with a span of 79.30 m, built in 1818. This bridge collapsed six months after its
construction; it was then rebuilt and stiffened with stays

in New York, first long-span
suspension bridge in America.
