Abstract - Cable Stayed Bridge are typical long span bridge
which are classified on the basis of longitudinal and transverse
cable profile arrangements and pylon shapes. For the cable-
stayed bridge chosen for the current study, composite
materials are intended to use such as Fibre Reinforced
Polymer and Steel Reinforced Concrete which is then
compared with conventional Precast Concrete deck and it's
important to accurately evaluate the deck and pylon deflection
and all the forces and stress characteristics of the structural
elements of cable stayed bridge. Hence, dynamic evaluation of
varied components of such bridges gains more importance due
to their geometric complexity. So, the aim of the study is to
develop most efficient type of composite Cable stayed bridge
under the dynamic moving load and static wind load and their
load combinations as per IRC and EN1991-1-4 respectively as
these loads are dominating in a typical cable stayed bridge
than seismic loads. A 3-span continuous cable stayed bridge
with diamond shaped pylons is considered and modelled in
FEM software Midas Civil 2019. The results are discussed in
terms of pylon displacement, cable forces, bending moment,
torsion of composite deck. The results concluded that Fiber
Reinforced Polymer composites deck gives the less critical
values and is most efficient as compared to the steel reinforced
concrete and conventional precast concrete deck cable stayed
bridge.

1.INTRODUCTION
Cable stayed bridges are aesthetically attractive and they are
relatively lightweight, flexible and lightly damped structure
and have larger span as compared to general bridges. Also,
cable stayed bridges experience most flexibility than normal
girder bridges. The structural efficiency and design of cable
stayed is complex due to comprising of several structural
components with individual stiffness and damping
properties as both steel and concrete materials are in
construction. Hence analysis of cable stayed bridges are
done to estimate the dynamic response due to dynamic
moving load and static wind load as the structure is light
weight both the vehicular and the wind loads are
predominating. There are two major structural advantages
for achieving success in design of cable stayed bridges.
Firstly, since variety of compact cables is self-anchored in an
exceedingly cable stayed bridge, massive-scale anchorage
isn't necessary as in an exceedingly conventional span.
Secondly, the diagonally tensioned cables during a cable
stayed bridge have greater rigidity and are less deflective
than those of a suspension bridge, resulting in cost
reductions.
For the cable-stayed bridge designated for the current
analysis, composites materials are used such as Fibre
reinforced polymers and steel reinforced concrete.
Nowadays, many more industries have brought light on all
the probabilities that Fibre Reinforced Polymer composites
must offer, aesthetically and structurally speaking. These
composites prevail for an extended period long back but
their specific use of material in industries is current. When it
involves the sector of bridge construction, alternatives to
conventional materials, like steel, which mainly look after
corrosion, fatigue, and also high maintenance problems.
Thus, Fibre Reinforced Polymer composites research can
state that it is one of the better replacements compared to
conventional. FRP provides certain betterment which are
lesser self-weight of the fabric, the dynamic effect of this
composite bridges can be crucial. comparison for the cable-
stayed bridge design, it's desirable to also design a bridge
with traditional materials, during this case a steel-concrete
composite bridge.
(Khalifa et al. 1996) described the assorted analysis and
design aspects of a fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) bridge. The
analysis is formed using three-dimensional (3-D) macro
models of the bridge to explain its overall behavior under
static and dynamic loads. (Adanur et al. 2011) studied the
Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites which provide
many interesting features for existing and new bridges.
Among these features are light weight, high stiffness-to-
weight ratio and strength-to-weight ratios, damping abilities,
and high resistance to environmental deterioration when
properly designed and installed. (Xiong et al. 2011)
introduced new forms of cable-stayed bridges with carbon
fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) stay cables and/or a CFRP
deck. for every of the 2 CFRP components, namely, CFRP stay
cables and CFRP deck, the key design parameters and style
