A stressed ribbon bridge is a type of suspension bridge where the suspension cables are embedded in the deck, which follows a curved catenary shape between supports. Unlike simple suspension bridges, the ribbon deck of a stressed ribbon bridge is placed under compression by the cables to increase its stiffness and prevent swaying. The supports provide upward thrusting arcs to allow the grade to change between multiple spans. Stressed ribbon bridges are typically made of reinforced concrete and are stressed in compression through cables to provide sufficient stiffness for vehicle traffic loads while using less material, requiring less maintenance, and being more economical and environmentally friendly than other bridge types.

A stressed ribbon bridge is a tension structure which is similar to
a simple suspension bridge. The suspension cables in a stressed ribbon bridge are embedded in the deck which follows a catenary arc between supports.
Unlike the simple suspension spans which tend to sway and
bounce, the ribbon is stressed in compression which adds to the stiffness of the structure. The supports of stressed ribbon bridge support upward thrusting arcs that allow the grade to be changed between spans where multiple spans are used.
Stressed ribbon bridges are typically constructed from concrete
reinforced by steel tensioning cables. Degree of stiffness required for such bridges depends on vehicle traffic conditions. For heavy vehicle traffic, certain degree of stiffness is required to prevent excessive flexure of the structure. This stiffness can be obtained by stressing the concrete in compression. Fig: Components of a Stressed Ribbon Bridge The construction of stressed ribbon bridges requires less materials as compared to other bridges, requires less maintenance and can be erected with expansion joints. Thus, these bridges are aesthetic, economical as well as environment friendly.
