ANCHORED AND PARTIALLY ANCHORED STAYED BRIDGES
POSSIBILITIES AND ADVANTAGES OF USING AN EARTH-ANCHORED SYSTEM (EITHER A FULLY ANCHORED OR A PARTIALLY ANCHORED SYSTEM) FOR STAYED BRIDGES ARE DESCRIBED. AT DANMARKS INGENIORAKADEMI, CIVIL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, THE AUTHOR HAS MADE MODEL TESTS GIVING A COMPARISON BETWEEN BRIDGES WITH DIFFERENT CABLE SYSTEMS. BY ANCHORING THE CABLES AN INCREASED STIFFNESS OF THE CABLE SYSTEM IS OBTAINED. ANCHORED STAYED BRIDGES CAN BE ERECTED WITHOUT REQUIRING TEMPORARY SUPPORTS IN THE MAIN SPAN, THUS OFFERING THE SAME ADVANTAGES AS ARE FOUND IN CONVENTIONAL SUSPENSION BRIDGES. ANCHORED STAYED BRIDGES SEEM TO BE A COMPETITIVE SOLUTION FOR BRIDGES WITH MAIN SPANS RANGING FROM APPROXIMATELY 300 M TO 800 M. /RRL/A/
