Introduction

Suspension bridges balance immense forces with elegant engineering.

1. Underwater Foundations

• Cofferdams:
  Temporary enclosures to dry riverbeds for concrete pouring.
• Rock-Socketed Piles:
  Anchored deep into bedrock for stability.

2. Cables & Tension

• Steel Wire Strands:
  Each cable contains thousands of galvanized wires twisted for strength.
• Automated Sensors:
  Monitor tension during installation.

3. Load Testing

• Weighted Trucks:
  Simulate decades of traffic to measure deflection.

Conclusion

These bridges are dynamic sculptures, engineered to dance with wind and weight.
