Abstract :The article analyzes the string and composite string bridge behavior and compositional parameters. The derived parameters are calculated and presented by selecting the appropriate limit parameters. The main parameters for suspended structures are the cross-sectional area of the tensile element and the initial sag of the structure. The selection of different component parameters and assigning different prestressing to the string leads to the analysis: which cross-sectional areas meet the defined conditions, what is the effect of prestressing, of the lower cable initial sag and the axial stiffness ratios of the string and the lower cable on the weight of the structure.
