Cable-stayed bridges 3

[trave]

I'm an italian engineer who is searching on the WEB technical information about CABLE-STAYED BRIDGES. I'm particulary interested at the economic proportioning of the steel cable-stayed bridges. I will be grateful to all of you who could point me out internet resources and refernces about this subject.

The produce stay cables, but not certain if they work with bridge/cable configurations relating to economy. They might be able to direct you towards sites or references that can. Telephone number in U.S.: 1-410-860-7000.

Go to the SteadFast (pedestian and bike bridges) Website and down load the specifications and SPECOM, (their specifications and design manual). They manufacture prefabricated bridges including cable-stayed bridges.
