Early examples, including the Brooklyn Bridge, often combined features from both the cable-stayed and suspension designs. Cable-stayed designs fell from favor in the early 20th century as larger gaps were bridged using pure suspension designs, and shorter ones using various systems built of reinforced concrete .

The definition of cable-stayed bridge deck length used here is: A continuous part of the bridge deck that is supported only by stay-cables and pylons, or are free spans. This means that columns supporting the side span as for example found in Pont de Normandie , excludes most of the side span decks from the cable-stayed deck length.

This List of cable-stayed bridges in the United States includes notable cable-stayed bridges, both existing and destroyed, in the United States of America, organized by name.

Several examples are shown in Figure 2. Some sub-divisions are used for cable-stayed bridges: extradosed, under-spanned (under-deck), cradle, inverted Fink truss, and tensegrity. The cables at the towers can be arranged in parallel (harp), fan, star, or mixed configuration.

Cable-stayed bridge, bridge form in which the weight of the deck is supported by a number of nearly straight, diagonal cables in tension running directly to one or more vertical towers. The towers transfer the cable forces to the foundations through vertical compression.

Here are some of the most iconic cable-stayed bridges around the world. 1. Guozigou bridge in #Xinjiang, with 209.5 metres height, is one of the tallest cable-bridges in China. 2. Millau Viaduct: Aveyron’s cable-stayed bridge, tallest in the world, spanning the Tarn Valley.

Cable-stayed bridges have cables attached to towers or pylons directly, at an angle, rather than the main cable going over the top of the towers as in suspension bridges, where secondary cables then hang down from these. Anchor: acts to secure the bridge to the ground.

JFE Engineering has manufactured and constructed a large number of cable-stayed bridges to date both in Japan and overseas, including the Tatara Bridge (center span: 890 meters), which was the longest cable-stayed bridge in the world at the time of its completion.
