Design and Analysis of Suspension Bridge

Abstract A suspension bridge is a kind of bridge wherein the deck i.e. the load bearing element is hold beneath on vertical suspenders. This bridge has cables suspended among towers plus vertical suspender cables that carry the weight of the deck underneath upon which traffic crosses. Cable stayed suspension bridge requires the design of the components namely Deck slab, Cables, Stiffening girder, Suspenders, Cable anchorage etc using IS-1873-1976.The main objective of our project is to study about suspension bridge and its components also designs are carried out. Suspension bridge plan should be prepared using Autocad and analysis will be done using SAP software. The details of Deck slab, Cables, Supporting details of tower, Abutment design details, arrangements and sections are included. Keywords: Bridge, Deck, Cables and Deck Slab.
