Suspension bridge – A parabola What is meant by suspension bridge? A suspension bridge is a type of bridge in which the deck (the load-bearing portion) is hung below suspension cables on vertical suspenders. Outside Tibet and Bhutan‚ where the first examples of this type of bridge were built in the 15th century‚ this type of bridge dates from the early 19th century. Bridges without vertical suspenders have a long history in many mountainous parts of the world. Structure of suspension bridge

Suspension Of all the bridge types in use today‚ the suspension bridge allows for the longest spans. At first glance the suspension and cable-stayed bridges may look similar‚ but they are quite different. Though suspension bridges are leading long span technology today‚ they are in fact a very old form of bridge. Some primitive examples of suspension bridges use vines and ropes for cables. Typical Span Lengths 70m - 1‚000m+ World’s Longest Akashi Kaikyo Bridge‚ Japan Total Length 3‚911m

of April Suspension Bridges A suspension bridge is a bridge with overhead cables supporting its roadway. The first suspension bridges were made by the primitive people using vines as cables and they would mount the roadway directly on the cable. Then in the 4th century a much stronger type was introduced in India. They used plaited bamboo cables and then iron chain to suspend the road. In the 18th century engineers encountered many problems with the stability of the bridge. The bridge would always

Suspension Bridges A suspension bridge is a one where many cables are strung across two or more towers‚ which supports the majority of the bridge weight and force. The cables run from the towers to the anchorages. Suspension bridges have benefited our everyday lives since John A. Roebling perfected the suspension bridge design in 1845 and built the Allegheny Suspension Bridge in Pittsburgh‚ Pennsylvania (Placzek). These bridges are better than previous bridges in many ways.

Modern suspension bridges use a box section roadway supported by high tensile strength cables. In the early nineteenth century‚ suspension bridges used iron chains for cables. The high tensile cables used in most modern suspension bridges were introduced in the late nineteenth century. Today‚ the cables are made of thousands

“BROOKLYN BRIDGE” The Brooklyn Bridge’s construction is one of the great achievements in United States history and helped pave the way for New York City’s rapid expansion in the 19th and 20th centuries. It was an undertaking that required extraordinary effort‚ sacrifice and ingenuity by its designers as well as its builders to complete. Its completion was a feat of engineering that was unmatched in its time: it was the longest suspension bridge – the first to use steel-wire – and dominated the New

dictionary‚ a bridge is a structure carrying a road‚ path‚ railroad‚ or canal across a river‚ ravine‚ road‚ railroad‚ or other obstacle. Bridges are essential for transportation. Whether it’s a canyon‚ or a body of water‚ bridges allow travel over those gaps from one part of land to the other. The world would be forever changed without bridges. The five main types of bridges are arch bridges‚ truss bridges‚ beam bridges‚ suspension‚ and cable-stayed bridges. Arch bridges are bridges that use arch
