Suspension Bridge -

Primary load-bearing elements made of high-strength steel wires bundled together; these follow a parabolic curve.

Vertical cables that transfer the weight of the deck up to the main cables. suspension bridge

Generally requires less material per unit length, making them cost-effective for long distances. suspension bridge

A suspension bridge is a structural masterpiece designed to span long distances, typically used for spanning wide waterways or deep, inaccessible valleys where intermediate piers are impractical. suspension bridge

The main cables are under immense tension (pulling forces), bearing the weight of the deck and traffic.

Massive concrete blocks embedded at both ends of the bridge, securing the main cables into the ground. Key Engineering Principles
