A cable-stayed bridge has one or more towers (or pylons), from which cables support the bridge deck.
There are four major classes of cable-stayed bridges: harp, mono, star and fan.
In the harp or parallel design, the cables are nearly parallel so that the height of their attachment to the tower is proportional to the distance from the tower to their mounting on the deck.
