Description on this project

The Weirton-Steubenville Bridge is an asymmetrical cable-stayed bridge with a single tower. The girders are I-shaped steel plate girders with a skewed web at 10˚. The 52 cables create a dual-plane system. The concrete deck is treated as a composite system. The tower is reinforced concrete with an inverted Y-shape. In addition to the 3D analysis, a detailed analysis for the anchor block has been performed.
