A Rational Form of Stiffened Suspension Bridge
That a suspension bridge can be made as rigid as any form of metal bridge, be it arch, cantilever, or truss, is now no longer disputed, and the old prejudice against its supposed unfitness for concentrated loads may be said to have died out. All the older suspension bridges are limber and undulating structures, without adequate provision against deformation under moving loads. The belief became general that they could not be made as rigid as other bridge systems, and hence they acquired a bad reputation for railroad purposes.
