Analysis of A Cable Stayed Bridge Considering Different Pylons Arrangements

Authors(2) :-Amit Kumar, Kapil Soni

A bridge is a structure, which connects two ends of obstacles such as river, valley, other road and railway lines for the purpose of providing small routes as possible for safe journey. There are many different designs that each serve a particular purpose and apply to different situations. A cable stay bridge consist of cable, deck, pylon and foundation. Literature survey revealed that comparative study of different type of pylon for cable Stay Bridge. In this Project work, live project of cable stay bridge i.e. (Raja Bhoj Setu), Bhopal is considered. It is located at V.I.P. road. It has been designed, constructed considering details and hydraulic data as per site. In this study analysis of different types of pylon in cable stay bridge i.e. H-type, A-type and Y-type is presented to determine the most suitable type and compare it with the executed H-type pylon. It is concluded through this study that A-type pylon is comparatively more stable, economical and efficient in bearing load whereas H-type is second best and Y-type is third in comparison. On the basis of various parameters considered.
