INTRODUCTION
Structure that combines main elements of
Prestressed box girder bridge and Cable-Stayed
bridge.
Resembles similar to Cable-Stayed Bridge.
Difference lies in tower height and depth of girder.
Bridge was introduced by J MATHIVAT in 1988.
4
CABLE-STAYED BRIDGE
It has one or more tower (or pylons).
From which cables support the bridge deck.
Distinctive feature are stays, which run directly
from tower to deck.
Normally forming a fan-like pattern or a series
of parallel lines.
5
DISADVANTAGES OF CABLE-STAYED BRIDGE
Only advantageous for short or medium distance
needs.
Unable design in certain environments.
Challenging to inspect and repair
It has a maximum length.
It can be susceptible to corrosion.
6
BOX GIRDE BRIDGE
Main beams comprise girder in the shape
of a hollow box.
Box is rectangular or trapezoidal in cross-
section.
Box Girder normally comprises either prestressed
concrete, structural steel, or a composite of
steel and reinforced concrete.
7
DISADVANTAGES OF BOX GIRDER BRIDGE
Greater design input.
Handling during fabrication and coating
is very difficult.
Risks associated with working in enclosed
spaces

EXTRADOSED BRIDGE
Concept is relatively new in field of structural
and Bridge engineering.
Attractive structural type around the world.
Its becomes unique type of structure for its
advantages over other bridges.
Due to good results obtained, first bridge constructed
in JAPAN(1994).
Historical context describes its origin,influence of
principal structural elements.
10
Contd…
Basic structural concept is Cables anchored
with Box Girder increase the compressive
force of girder.
Allows Box Girder to carry a huge load by work
together with a very long span and lower
tower height.
An Extradosed Bridge uses much shorter stay-
tower than cable-stayed bridge.
Significantly shallow deck structure than used
on the girder bridge.
11
Contd…
Many of the construction costs of both cable-
stayed and box girder types, extradosed bridges
can deliver material savings to offset much of
this penalty.
Material cost of bridge is inversely proportional
to cable distance when height of pylon is kept
constant.

GENERAL STRUCTURAL
CONSIDERATION
STAY CABLE
Stay configuration - Single plane/Double plane.
Stay layout – Fan shaped/Semi fan shaped/Harp
shaped
CENTRAL SUPPORTED SUPERSTRUCTURE
Single cell with internal strut.
Single cell spine Box Girder with external strut.
Single cell spine Box Girder with internal struts along
with external struts.
14
Contd…
LATERALLY SUPPORTED SUPER STRUCTURE
Single cell Box Girder.
Multiple cell Box Girder.
PIER SUPER STRUCTURE CONNECTION
Through bearings.
Monolithics.
15

PYLON AND PIER CONFIGURATION
Single Pier.
Twin bladed piers.
16
CONSTRUCTION
Working part on the bending of girder and part on
the cable suspension of deck.
Optimum design depends upon number of
parameters.
During problem formulation, most of the practical
design variables are considered.
Form is mostly suited to medium-length spans
between 100m to 250m.
17
Contd…
Extradosed Cable stayed bridges are the large
and sophisticated structures which may greatly
benefits from use of structural optimization
techniques for preliminary design improvements.
Structural optimization has become an important
tool.
Since it allows a better exploitation of material,
thus decreasing structures self-weight and
saving material cost.
18
Contd…
Typically constructed in balanced cantilever.
Depth to span ratio ranging from 1:25 to 1:50.
So depth to span ratio is kept 1:40 for all models.
Spacing of main cables has critical influence not
only on the structural efficiency.
19
ADVANTAGES
STRUCTURAL: Similar to Girder Bridge
No vibration problem.
No fatigue problem.
AESTHETIC: Improved aesthetic
Looks similar to cable stayed bridge.
20
Contd…
CONSTRUCTION: Ease in construction
Lesser tower height than cable
stayed bridge.
Simpler superstructure.
ECONOMICS:Less material consumption of
superstructure.
21
Contd…
Nearly 30% lesser than Girder Bridge.
Less load on foundation.
Saving in foundation.

CONCLUSION
It can be adopted alternative to Cable- Stayed
Bridge , when overall height is restricted.
Lower tower height not only reduces material
consumed but also reduces construction difficulty.
From aesthetic consideration , Extradosed
Bridges creative yet more economically
affordable designs compared to Cable- Stayed
Bridge.
33
Contd…
More competitive under similar span length
owing to lower construction cost.
Better constructability and easier maintenance.
Best suited for spans more than 100m.
Previous studies identified 120 Extradosed Bridge
in use.
State’s first Extradosed Bridge is being constructed
at Beypore.
