Cable-supported bridge

The theme of the thesis is to design a pedestrian bridge over a river. Out of two possible designs, the cable-stayed construction was chosen. The deck of the bridge is designed as a monolithic construction supported by cables from two inclined pylons. Two models were developed for the calculation of internal forces: a strut model for the longitudinal direction and a plate model for the perpendicular direction. These calculations were checked up by Finite Element Method (FEM) in SCIA Engineer 2017 software. Considerable part of the thesis was dedicated to the creation of so-called initial state. The design of the prestressing force and the evaluation of ultimate limit state and serviceability limit state was made in accordance with the codes currently in force. Small part of the theses is dedicated to the verification of the load bearing capacity of the pylon on the combination of normal force and bending moment with a subsequent verification in the software IDEA StatiCa9. The pedestrian bridge of 64,150 m length is considered as a perpendicular
