ABSTRACT Construction work in India is one of the most widespread activities, involving a range of people from the small builder in villages and towns to large private companies, public undertakings and various state agencies. At present civil engineering has suffered from a drastic evolvement over last decades there has been a large amount of improvement in civil works management done by many leading company by hiring structural engineers as a result there is a many structure design and analysis related software’s are also used by structure engineers, which simplify the design problems and gives the idea about actual structure how looks and works. The construction industry requires high degree management of men & material to complete the project successfully at an optimum cost. Hence a special branch of structural engineering has been developed to accommodate the designs and analysis of structures which are adopted to improve the performance of various aspects of an engineering project and optimize the cost. Government has Expertise in providing modern infrastructure to public and also dealing with numbers of big projects to secure a good position of India in Global Developed Market in Infrastructure. The projects focus on parametric study of cable stayed bridge. Different parameters like side span, pylon shape, cable stay arrangements etc. affects on the bridge designing specially. Using the different software’s available in the market for bridge designing it is possible. We were been going to use MIDAS CIVIL software for our designing and analysis purpose.

CHAPTER - 1

1.1 INTRODUCTION All the Three human basic needs: shelter, food and clothing call for civil engineering construction works and their subsequent maintenanace.Ordinarily construction activity accounts for 15% of all the jobs. The construction industry requires high degree management of men & material to complete the project successfully at an optimum cost. Hence a special branch of building construction has been developed to accommodate the techniques which are adopted to improve the performance of various aspects of an engineering project.

The branch of structural engineering aims to design and analyse the structure as per the requirement of site conditions. This branch is of immense importance because if design is wrong or if any factors which will affect the structure would be not considered then it will be cost to the whole project.

At present construction work in India is one of the most widespread activities, involving a range of people from the small builder in villages and towns to large private companies , public undertakings and various state agencies.

Now a days structure designing becomes prime requirement for that purpose many software’s are available i.e. MIDAS,STADD,ETAB etc.

The construction industry is a major economic activity in India. Construction activities contribute annually about 10% to the Gross National Product (GDP), Thus Playing a major Role in the development of the national economy.

The need for professionalism in designing and analysis of structure assumes special significance in order to ensure that the huge resources invested in the construction industry are deployed efficiently for the benefit of society and structure operates efficiently.

 What is a Bridge? •

“A bridge is a structure built to span physical obstacles such as a body of water, valley, or road, for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle.”



There are many different designs that all serve unique purposes and apply to different situations.



Designs of bridges vary depending on the function of the bridge, the nature of the terrain where the bridge is constructed and anchored, the material used to make it, and the funds available to build it.

 Type Of Bridges •

Bridges can be categorized in several different ways. Common categories include the type of structural elements used, by what they carry, whether they are fixed or movable, and by the materials used.

 Based On Structure Type •

Beam Bridge



Truss Bridge



Cantilever Bridge



Arch Bridge



Tied Arch ridge



Suspension Bridge



Cable-Stayed Bridge

1.2 STUDY AREA  The projects focus on Parametric study of Cable Stayed Bridge Bridge by taking real life example Worli Sea Link Cable Stayed Bridge.  Why Bridge Is Required ?  In city like Mumbai where trains also travels full of the people then no concern to talk about traffic problem.  In Mumbai to travel from Bandra To Worli it takes 60-90 minutes.  To reduce this travel time one of the alternative is to construct the over bridge but due to nearby two airports in the Bandra there is a no option to construct over bridge so that government carried out steps to construct the bridge through the sea to connect Bandra and Worli.  Bandra Worli Sea Link reduces the road length and hence time travel between Bandra and Worli.

2.1 LITERATURE REVIEW  For the Cable stayed bridge researchers analyzed different parameters which would designer have to keep in mind: 1) Bridge Deck Property 2) Pylon Shape During EQ(A, H, Portal Frame, Spread Pylon & Pyramid Shapes)  The Pylon Shape Has great influence in the mitigation of SSI effects the result showed that in comparison to rotational A or H shape of pylon diamond shape of pylon is giving less response. Hence if it is used practically will be proved less economical.  The Inverted Y design of the pylon is a solution that uses the tensioning mechanism and it provides compromise between deck sizing and costly strengthening methods. 3) C/S of Cable 4) Cable Layout Pattern  The deflection of deck is slightly depend on the layout of cable system either Harp or Fan system.  The B.M. in the deck using the fan system are higher than that in harp system.  So for Large-span Bridges Fan system is appears to be less suitable. 5) Pylon Height to Span Ratio  Deflection of the deck significantly decrease as the pylon height to span ratio H/L increases. 6) Exposure Conditions 7) Foundation Condition

((3)) Tailor Made Concrete Structures journal – Walraven & Stoelhorst (eds) Vol. 2, Issue 2 (Apr.-June 2015) Aim : Behavior of a multiple spans cable-stayed bridge Author : S. Arnaud, N. Matsunaga, S. Nagano & J.-P. Ragaru Abstract : We got the opportunity to participate in the design check of a five towers cable-stayed bridge with 300 meters spans and we examined the configuration between type of connection, stiffness of deck, stiffness of piers and pylons, in order to confirm the minimal structural cost.  One of the main problems of bridges with multiple cable-stayed spans is the behavior under live loads,as the deflections and bending moments in the deck are more influenced by the stiffness of the pylons and by the connection between deck and pylon than for a standard cable-stayed bridge.  The second problem is the effect of deck length variation due to temperature and concrete creep and shrinkage.  further calculations about the relationship between stiffness of deck, pylons and piers.  Results are presented with particular focus about the impacts of asymmetric loading and thermal expansion of the deck on this multiple spans structure.

Fig 2 Connection of Deck & Pylon Conclusion :The main conclusions of this study about behavior of multiple cable-stayed spans bridges under live Loads and thermal variation are:  The connection type c (tower and deck sliding on pier) is the more effective and economic for the studied load cases.  For the connection type c, it is efficient to reduce the deck rigidity and to increase the pylon rigidity.  The connection type b (deck embedded in the pylon) can be more efficient, but we shall solve the problem of the extension under long time variations.  The type a and d structures (deck simply supported on pylon or fully suspended) are less efficient under live loads and thermal variation, with more forces on the foundations and more force in the deck.

 From all these observations, it is seen that stiffer sections of deck and pylon will produce more bending moments in the corresponding bending moments.  It is preferable that slender sections should be used for deck and pylon so as to achieve economical solution. Further, use of more number of cables reduces bending moments in overall structure.
