In the world of Civil Engineering, bridges are an example of structural art expressing how much the structures have evolved till present times. The concept and design of bridges has been evolved over the past years, having numerous amounts of different geometrical models and methods to construct bridges. As the development and innovation has reached so far, the concept of bridges has made a great impact on global infrastructure by creating sustainable, effective, and aesthetical bridges around the world. development of the finest aesthetical and sustainable designs for bridges which are known as Cable Stayed BridgesThe bridge form in which the weight of the deck is supported by a number of nearly straight diagonal cables in tension running directly to one or more vertical towers. The towers transfer the cable forces to the foundations through vertical compression. The tensile forces in the cables also put the deck into horizontal compression. Cable stayed bridges are the types of bridges those are best suited for connecting wide-span crossings. Construction of cable stayed bridge is widely promoted all over the world and construction of more than 600 cable stayed bridges are recorded till date. This type of bridge is preferred over any other type due to its possible construction to the indefinite length, availability of multiple design options with the possibility of symmetrical design and excellent strength. In this paper we shall discuss numerous case studies of the cable stayed bridges, compile all the beneficial data for most of the cable stayed bridges located in India.

Cable stayed bridges are known for their good stability, It has been the most favorable use of structural design, for comparatively low designing and maintenance costs, and for effective structural characteristics. Therefore, this type of bridges are gaining popularity and are generally selected for long spans when compared to suspension bridges. A cable stayed bridge comprises of pylons with cables withstanding the weight of deck. There are different types of pylons i.e. ; H-type pylon, A-type pylon, inverted Y-type pylon, and diamond shaped pylon. In this paper the bridge design, model, and analyses for these different types of pylons is done using STAAD Pro. The comparison for three cases are done on the basis of shear force and bending moment in terms of self weight to obtain the most efficient type of pylon design. The results thus obtained are useful in limiting the drawbacks of other types of pylon.
