Show all the components of suspension bridge and explain what type of internal force develop in each component. Also explain different types of cable supports.

Subject : Structural Analysis 1

Topic : Cable & Suspension Bridge

Difficulty : High

For guided pulley support,

T(sinθ+sinα)

T(cosθ−cosα)

BM=Horizontal force∗Height of the tower

For roller support,

T1=T[cosθ/cosα]

T1sinα+Tsinθ

Since, saddle is having frictionless rollers, there is no horizontal force and hence no bending moment on tower.

$T_1sin\alpha + Tsin\theta$ [vertical]
