Cable stayed bridge


Explanation:
Pelo que percebo do que é dito no sítio http://www.revistametalurgia.com.br/apresenta2.php?pag_id=15...

uma ponte estaiada é aquela que é sustentada por cabos de aço, chamados estais..

Por analogia da figura apresentada no sitio

http://www.alusud.com.br/obra_ponte_estaiada.htm.

com a figura apresentada em

http://www.bardaglea.org.uk/bridges/bridge-types/bridge-type...

o nome em inglês será CABLE STAYED BRIDGE.
