A suspension bridge is referred to a type bridge supported by cables. This type of bridge has been with mankind since ancient times. Today’s large and magnificent suspension bridges were made possible through the establishment of structural analysis methods, material developments, construction methods, and computer technology developments. Suspension bridges are one of the most beautiful special bridges, and are considered one of the types of bridges many structural engineers dream to design. A self-anchored suspension bridge is a type of bridge supported by the main cables anchored to the girder. External loads applied to suspension bridges are transferred to the girder through the suspenders main cables pylons and anchorage inside the girder. Therefore, unlike earth-anchored types, girders behave as bending and compression members.
