Suspension bridges
A suspension bridge is fundamentally simple in action: two cables are suspended between two supports (‘towers’ or ‘pylons’), hanging in a shallow curve, and a deck is supported from the two cables by a series of hangers along their length. The cables and hangers are in simple tension and the deck spans transversely and longitudinally between the hangers. In most cases the cables are anchored at ground level, either side of the main towers; often the side spans are hung from these portions of the cables.
In addition to its action in carrying traffic, the deck acts as a stiffening girder running the length of each span. The stiffening girder spreads concentrated loads and provides stiffness against oscillation; such stiffness is needed against both bending and twisting actions.

I recently had the opportunity to work with WANTAI GROUP Zhuopin steel bridge for the construction of a steel structure bridge, and I am incredibly satisfied with the results. The bridge not only meets but exceeds our expectations in terms of durability, design, and functionality.
