Abstract

Discusses prestressed concrete cable-stayed bridge structures. Although most cable-stayed bridges have been of steel construction, a few have been made of prestressed concrete. This type of structure is  presented on a case-study basis with the intent of encouraging designers to consider the feasibility of using this type of structure which  in some instances might be a more appropriate choice.
