Master's Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject Engineering - Civil
Engineering, grade: 10, language: English, abstract: In the present
study, the failure of cable stayed bridge across Chambal River (Kota)
will be discussed. The causes of its collapse and detail study of the
cable stayed bridge cross Chambal River will be done. The static and
dynamic modeling of cable stayed bridge is also done. At the end, the
measure to repair and rehabilitation cable stayed is discussed. Cable
stayed bridge has become one of the most frequently used bridge system
throughout the world because of their aesthetic appeal, structural
efficiency, enhanced stiffness compared with suspension bridge, ease of
construction and small size of substructure. Over past 40 years, rapid
developments have been made on modern cable stayed bridge. With main
span length increasing, more shallow and slender stiffness girders used
in modern cable stayed bridge, the safety of whole bridge under service
loading and environmental dynamic loading such as impact, wind and
earthquake loadings, presents increasingly important concern in design,
construction and service In India the first cable stayed bridge was
AKKAR BRIDGE, SIKKIM (1985) Constructed by Gammon India limited. The
other cable stayed bridge are Vidhya sagar Setu (1992) Kolkata, Bandra -
worli sea link (Mumbai), Cable stayed bridge across Chambal river (Kota)
etc.
