Please write at least two paragraphs in your own words how a suspension bridge works. List all sources used. Thank you very much! This is due tomorrow! Do not use Wikipedi@!

Verified Answer :

Before description, set the picture of a suspension bridge as "Gate Bridge or Brooklyn Bridge" which is quite famous so you would probably know about it.

In this type of Bridges, they are suspended the roadway by cables, ropes or chains from two tall towers. That towers support the majority of the weight as compression pushes down on the suspension bridge's deck and then travels up the connection (cables, ropes or chains) to transfer compression to the towers. The towers then dissipate the compression directly into the earth.
Suspension cables receive the bridge's tension forces. These cables run horizontally between the two far-flung anchorages

Hope this helps!
