RE: cable bridge
So a larger question is why would you want to have a different number of cables on each side of the pier? This would appear that the loading was asymmetrical and possibly biased for a certain direction.

Secondly, it would best be answered by a member of your design team with a good background in cable-stayed bridges. If you are new to this type of bridge design, this would be a very challanging case to start on and nothing can replace good experience.
Best of Luck
RE: cable bridge
I am looking for good books on cable stayed, suspension, and arch bridge design/construction. Can you guys recommend some? Seems few out there and many out of print.
Thanks,

RE: cable bridge
I have a nice book by M.S. Troitsky and I know that ASCE has a text on Cable Stay bridges too. The text is by Walther is can be found at this link:

The Troitsky text is dated.
