With France opening the worlds tallest brige I got to thinking.
How do you bridge guys handle unbalaced loading in cable-stayed bridges that only have a single row of cables at the center of the deck. Is the deck a big torsion member?
With bridges like the Golden Gate everything is supported on two sides. But with the type of bridge above it looks to me like a lane full of traffic on one side and the opposite side empty of traffic would cause serious torsion.
