A SUSPENSION BRIDGEHistory
A suspension bridge is a type of bridge in which the deck (the load-bearing portion) ishung below suspension cables on vertical suspenders. Outside Tibet and Bhutan, wherethe 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.
This type of bridge has cables suspended betweentowers, plus verticalsuspender cablesthat carry the weight of the deck below, upon which traffic crosses. This arrangement
allows the deck to be level or to arc upward for additional clearance.
Early precursor
The Tibetansaint and bridge-builderThangtong Gyalpooriginated the use ofiron chainsin his version of early suspension bridges. In 1433, Gyalpo built eight bridges in eastern
Bhutan. The only surviving chain-linked bridge of Gyalpo's was the Thangtong Gyalpo
Bridge in Duksum enroute to Trashi Yangtse, which was finally washed away in 2004.Gyalpo's iron chain bridges did not include a suspended deck bridge which is the
standard on all modern suspension bridges today. Instead, both the railing and the
walking layer of Gyalpo's bridges used wires. The stress points that carried the screed
were reinforced by the iron chains. Before the use of iron chains it is thought that Gyalpoused ropes from twisted willows or yak skins.

First suspension bridges
The first design for a bridge resembling the modern suspension bridge is attributed toFausto Veranzio, whose 1595 bookMachinae Novae included drawings both for a timber
and rope suspension bridge, and a hybrid suspension and cable-stayed bridge using ironchains .
However, the first suspension bridge actually built was by American engineer andinventorJames Finley at Jacob's Creek, in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, in 1801.[5] Finley's bridge was the first to incorporate all of the necessary components of a
suspension bridge, including a suspended deck bridge which hung by trusses. In 1808,Finley had patented the suspension bridge and by 1810, he published his design in a New
York journal entitled The Port Folio.
Early British chain bridges included the Dryburgh Abbey Bridge(1817) and 137 m
Union Bridge (1820), with spans rapidly increasing to 176 m with theMenai SuspensionBridge (1826). The Clifton Suspension Bridge shown above (designed in 1831,
completed in 1864 with a 214 m central span) is one of the longest of the parabolic arc
chain type.

likely the Chain Bridge at Falls of Schuylkill (1808).

Clifton Suspension Bridge over the River Avon in Bristol, England. The bridge was
designed by the great Victorian engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
In the United States, the first major wire-cable suspension bridge was the Wire Bridge atFairmount in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Designed byCharles Ellet, Jr. and completed in
1842, it had a span of 109 m. Ellet'sNiagara Falls Suspension Bridge (184748)
Spring Garden Street Bridge is a bridge in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, that
crosses the Schuylkill Riverbelow Fairmount Dam.

This unique cable-stayed bridge is suspended by only one support column. This95-yard column held up by 8 load-balancing cables. The curved pedestrianbridge spans 125 m across a spectacular chasm. The bridge is 136 yards longand 2 yards wide. The 1.8 m-wide Sky Bridge had two 3.6 m-wide triangularplatforms that provided a spectacular viewing area for visitors and rememberwhen in the front of the bridge, you are standing 687 m above sea level.

Monorail Suspension Bridge At Putra Jaya Malaysia
Monorail Suspension Bridge is one of the many bridges in Putrajaya,Malaysia. It was
built to link several important landmarks in the Putrajaya area like thePutrajaya
Convention Centre, Putra Mosque and the Government Administrative Complex in
Parcel E. The bridge's main span has a length of approximately 240m and width of 10m.It is owned by Putrajaya Holding Sdn. Bhd. and was designed by PJS International Sdn.
Bhd.
The project halted in 2004 because the government had not approved further funding.
The stalled project has often been described as the missing link of the public transportsystem designed for the federal administrative capital. The Ministry of the Federal
Territories instructed the Putrajaya Corporation to appoint an independent consultant to
conduct a study on the projects viability.
