ABSTRACT:
A bridge structure for large water crossing with inclined towers as main substructure members. The superstructure is a combination of suspension cables and stay cables supported by inclined towers which transfers the bridge loads to the ground. The inclined towers are tied with horizontally cables posttensioned in a such way to introduce a horizontal force which combined with the vertical forces from the bridge gives axial forces for the inclined towers, improving its load capacity.
