description Cable-stayed bridges are known as one of the most effective and graceful forms of bridges. The main problem in the design of cable-stayed steel bridges is their deformability, especially under asymmetrical loads. Stabilization of the initial form of cable-stayed bridges can be achieved by selecting the appropriate cross-sectional area of the cables and their pre-stressing, as well as by increasing the cross-sectional height of the stiffness beam. However, a greater effect can be achieved by applying new forms of such bridges. Solutions for such bridges with an atypical arrangement of cables and additional pylons are already applied in practice. The article discusses an innovative pre-tensioned intersecting cable steel bridge structure system. The behavior of this bridge system under permanent and temporary loads is analyzed. Based on the performed numerical experiment, the efficiency of the innovative cable-stayed steel bridge system was determined. This newly designed bridge system is more effective in terms of stress and displacement distribution than a classic cable-stayed bridge system. First published online 10 January 2023
