Cable-stayed bridge are as follows: There are four major classes of rigging on cable-stayed bridges: "mono", "harp", "fan," and "star". There are also four arrangements for support columns: "single", "double", "portal" and "A-shaped". Depending on the design, the columns may be vertical or angled or curved relative to the bridge deck. A side-spar cable-stayed bridge uses a central tower supported only on one side. This design allows the construction of a curved bridge. Far more radical in its structure, the Puente del Alamillo (1992) uses a single cantilever spar on one side of the span, with cables on one side only to
Cable fairing Cable fairing A cable fairing is a structure attached to a towed cable designed to streamline the flow around the cable, primarily in marine environments. Cables are faired primarily for two reasons: (1) to reduce normal drag and thus achieve more depth for a given cable scope and speed; and (2) to eliminate cable vibration caused by vortex shedding, commonly known as cable strum. There are several major types of cable fairing: All cables (faired or unfaired) have hydrodynamic loading functions. These describe the variation in drag coefficient as a function of angle formula_1 with respect to the flow. As
