Down to earth

This article explains how partially earth-anchored cable-stayed bridges could become competitive with suspension bridges at longer lengths. Even though suspension bridges are the proven technology and more economical for longer spans, cable-stayed bridges can offer significant benefits in terms of the presence of multiple load paths, as well ease of maintenance. Design details that would prove this idea are presented here.
