Cable-stayed suspension bridge

A cable-stayed suspension bridge or CSS bridge merges the designs of cable-stayed bridges and suspension bridges. The suspension bridge's architecture is better at handling the load in the middle of the bridge, while the cable stayed bridge is better suited to handle the load closest to the tower. Combining these two architectural engineering ideas into a hybrid has been done in Istanbul with the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge. A bridge over the Krishna River in India has been approved in October 2022 that will be a CSS bridge design.[1][2][3][4]

Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge

edit

In Turkey the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge over the Bosporus Strait opened in August 2016. The main span is 1,408 m (4,619 ft) long and is the 13th longest bridge span in the world.[5]
