Cable-stayed bridge

Japanese: 斜張橋 - しゃちょうきょう(英語表記)cable-stayed bridge
Cable-stayed bridge
A type of bridge in which girders or trusses are supported by cables stretched diagonally from towers on the piers. Similar bridges have been built from wood or steel in Germany, England, France and other countries since the late 18th century, but modern cable-stayed bridges began to be built around 1955, mainly using German technology. In Japan, cable-stayed bridges began to be built around 1960, and many have been built. Cable-stayed bridges are generally an economical type of bridge with a span of 100 to 500 meters, and are also aesthetically pleasing.

橋の一形式で,橋脚上に設けられた塔から斜めに張ったケーブルで桁またはトラスを支えた構造をもつもの。これに類似した橋梁形式は,18世紀後半からドイツ,イギリス,フランスなどで,木や鉄材などを使って造られた例があるが,近代的な斜張橋は,1955年頃から,主としてドイツの技術によって架設されたものから始る。日本では,60年頃から架設されるようになり,多くの斜張橋が架設されている。斜張橋は概して 100~500mのスパンの橋梁として経済的な形式であり,美観上もすぐれている。
