Suspension bridges have several key components: cables that suspend the roadway from towers, towers that stabilize the cables, and anchorages that provide structure and keep the cables tight. A typical construction process involves building tower foundations, erecting the towers, installing saddles and cables between the towers, adding vertical suspender cables to hang the roadway, and constructing the deck between the towers. The main forces in a suspension bridge are tension in the cables and compression in the towers. Some of the world's largest suspension bridges include the Akashi Kaikyō Bridge in Japan and the Sidu River Bridge in China.
A suspension bridge is a type of bridge in which the deck is hung below suspension cables on vertical suspenders. The basic structural components of a suspension bridge system include stiffening girders/trusses, the main suspension cables, main towers, and the anchorages for the cables at each end of the bridge.

What is a Slab?
Slabs are the one of the most widely used structural elements whose depth is considerably smaller than rest of the dimensions. Basically slabs are used as roofs and floors in buildings, roof and bottom on water tanks, on bridges etc.
Slabs support and transfer load i.e. Dead load and live load, to columns by shear, flexure, and torsion. Slabs also help in reducing the effects of lateral wind loads and earthquake loads.
What is One Way Slab?
One way slabs are the slabs in which most of the loads are carried on the shorter span. The ratio of longer span to shorter span is equal to or greater than two or when the slab is supported by beams only along two opposite sides slab then the slab behaves as a One-way slab.
What is Two Way Slab?
Two-way slabs are the slabs in which loads are carried on both of the spans. The ratio of longer span to shorter span is less than two and when the slab is supported by beams along all the sides then the slab behaves as a two-way slab.
Difference Between One Way Slab and Two Way Slab
Modular coordination is a concept of coordination of dimension and space, in which buildings and components are dimensioned and positioned in a term of a basic unit or module, known as ‘1M’ which is equivalent to 100 mm.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

2. SUSPENSION BRIDGE
FOUR BASIC TYPES OF BRIDGES (ON THE BASIS OF LOAD TRANSFER)
BEAM BRIDGE
The beam type is the simplest type of bridge. The beam bridge could be
anything as simple as a plank of wood to a complex structure. It is made of
two or more supports which hold up a beam.
ARCH BRIDGE
In the arch type of bridge, weight is carried outward along two
paths, curving toward the ground.
CANTILEVER BRIDGE
In the cantilever type of bridge, two beams support another beam, which
is where the deck or traffic way is.
SUSPENSION BRIDGES
TYPICAL SUSPENSION BRIDGE
CABLE STAYED BRIDGE
The deck (trafficway) of a suspension bridge is hung by
suspender cables which hang from master cables (resting on
the towers). The cables transfer the weight to the towers,
which transfer the weight to the ground
Cable-stayed bridges have towers, but cables from
the towers go directly to the road deck, instead of
spanning from tower to tower.

COMPONENTS OF SUSPENSION BRIDGES
A suspension bridge is a type of bridge in which the deck (the
load-bearing portion) is hung below suspension cables on
vertical suspenders.
COMPONENTS
•
Cables-suspend the roadway(deck) via hangers
•
Towers- stabilize wire cables
•
Anchorages- key to the structure, mass that keeps cables
tight, gives the bridge structure
WITH ANCHORAGE
(offer little support)
WITHOUT ANCHORAGE
IN CASE OF CABLE STAYED BRIDGE CABLES DIRECTLY CONNECT THE TOWER WITH THE DECK
THEY MAY BE OF TWO TYPES DEPENDING ON THE FIXING OF THE CABLES

EVOLUTION OF SUSPENSION BRIDGES
Thousands of years ago people strung
twisted vines attached to trees to cross
over rivers and it gets many modified
forms over the time.
The Tibetan saint and bridge-builder Thangtong
Gyalpo originated the use of iron chains in his version of
early suspension bridges. In 1433, Gyalpo built eight bridges
in eastern Bhutan. Gyalpo's iron chain bridges did not
include a suspended deck bridge which is the standard on all
modern suspension bridges today. Instead, both the railing
and the walking layer of Gyalpo's bridges used wires.

5. SUSPENSION BRIDGE
EVOLUTION OF SUSPENSION BRIDGES
The first design for a bridge resembling the modern
suspension
bridge
is
attributed
to Venetian engineer Fausto Veranzio, whose 1595
book Machinae Novae included drawings both for a
timber and rope suspension bridge cable-stayed
bridge using iron chains
However, the first suspension bridge actually built was
by American engineer James Finley at Jacob's Creek, in,
Pennsylvania, in 1801. Finley's bridge was the first to
incorporate all of the necessary components of a
suspension bridge

6. SUSPENSION BRIDGE
STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS - LOADS
Three kinds of forces operate on any bridge: the dead load, the live load, and the dynamic load.
DEAD LOAD
LIVE LOAD
Dead load refers to the weight
of the bridge itself. Like any
other structure, a bridge has a
tendency to collapse simply
because of the gravitational
forces acting on the materials
of which the bridge is made.
Live load refers to traffic
that moves across the
bridge as well as normal
environmental factors
such as changes in
temperature,
precipitation, and winds
DYNAMIC LOAD
Dynamic
load
refers
to
environmental factors that go
beyond
normal
weather
conditions, factors such as
sudden gusts of wind and
earthquakes. All three factors
must
be
taken
into
consideration when building a
bridge.
BEHAVIOUR : THE MAIN FORCES IN A
SUSPENSION BRIDGE OF ANY TYPE
ARE TENSION IN THE CABLES
AND COMPRESSION IN THE PILLARS.

7. SUSPENSION BRIDGE
CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE
1. TOWERS`
Tower foundations are prepared by digging down to a
sufficiently firm rock formation.
Some bridges are designed so that their towers are built on
dry land, which makes construction easier.
CAISSON
FOUNDATIONS
ON DRYLAND
If a tower will stand in water, its construction begins with
lowering a caisson (a steel and concrete cylinder that acts as a
circular damn) to the ground beneath the water; removing the
water from the caisson's interior allows workers to excavate a
foundation without actually working in water.
If the bedrock is too deep to be exposed by excavation or the sinking of a
caisson, pilings are driven to the bedrock or into overlying hard soil, or a
large concrete pad to distribute the weight over less resistant soil may be
constructed, first preparing the surface with a bed of compacted gravel.

8. SUSPENSION BRIDGE
CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE
1. TOWERS`
The piers are then extended above water level, where they are capped with pedestal bases for the
towers. From where towers of single or multiple columns are erected using high-strength reinforced
concrete, stonework, or steel. Concrete is used most frequently in modern suspension bridge
construction due to the high cost of steel.
PRESENTATION BY : MOMIN MOHD. ZAKI & VINOD YADAV
9. SUSPENSION BRIDGE
CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE`
2. SADDLES
Large devices called saddles, which will carry the main
suspension cables, are positioned atop the towers. Typically of
cast steel, they can also be manufactured using riveted
forms, and are equipped with rollers to allow the main cables
to shift under construction and normal loads.
3.ANCHORAGE
Anchorages are the structures to which the ends of the bridge's cables are secured. They are massive
concrete blocks securely attached to strong rock formations. During construction of the
anchorages, strong eye bars (steel bars with a circular hole at one end) are embedded in the concrete.—
each wire bundle will be secured to one of the anchorage's eye bars.
PRESENTATION BY : MOMIN MOHD. ZAKI & VINOD YADAV
10. SUSPENSION BRIDGE
CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE`
4.CATWALKS
Temporary suspended walkways, called catwalks, are
then erected using a set of guide wires hoisted into
place via winches positioned atop the towers. These
catwalks follow the curve set by bridge designers for
the main cables. Typical catwalks are usually between
eight and ten feet wide, and are constructed using wire
grate and wood slats.
Gantries are placed upon the catwalks, which will support the
main cable spinning reels.

CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE`
5.CABLE SPINNING
SPINNING
BUNDLE
COMPACTION
High strength wire (typically 4
or 6 gauge galvanized steel
wire), is pulled in a loop by
pulleys on the traveler, with
one end affixed at an
anchorage. When the traveler
reaches
the
opposite
anchorage the loop is placed
over an open anchor eye bar.
Along the catwalk, workers
also pull the cable wires to
their desired tension. This
continues until a bundle,
called a "cable strand" is
completed, and temporarily
bundled using stainless steel
wire.
Then it is brought to shape
with compactor
PRESENTATION BY : MOMIN MOHD. ZAKI & VINOD YADAV
12. SUSPENSION BRIDGE
CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE`
6.HANGERS / VERTICAL CABLES
At specific points along the main cable devices called "cable bands“(clamps) are installed to carry steel
wire ropes called Suspender cables. Each suspender cable is engineered and cut to precise
lengths, and are looped over the cable bands. In some bridges, where the towers are close to or on
the shore, the suspender cables may be applied only to the central span.
PRESENTATION BY : MOMIN MOHD. ZAKI & VINOD YADAV
13. SUSPENSION BRIDGE
CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE`
7.DECK
After vertical cables are attached to the main support cable, the deck structure can be started. The
structure must be built in both directions from the support towers at the correct rate in order to keep
the forces on the towers balanced at all times. In one technique, a moving crane that rolls atop the
main suspension cable lifts deck sections into place, where workers attach them to previously placed
sections and to the vertical cables that hang from the main suspension cables, extending the
completed length. Alternatively, the crane may rest directly on the deck and move forward as each
section is placed.
Upon completion of the deck the added load will pull the main cables into an arc mathematically
described as a parabola, while the arc of the deck will be as the designer intended
PRESENTATION BY : MOMIN MOHD. ZAKI & VINOD YADAV
14. SUSPENSION BRIDGE
CASE OF CABLE STAYED BRIDGE
CONSTRUCTION
Stage 1: The pylon above the main
piers are erected.
Stage 2: A balanced free cantilever is
initiated by using derrick cranes which
operate on the deck to lift up the
girder
segments.
These
are
transported to the site on
barges.
Stage 3: As the cantilevers grow, the
stay cables are installed and tensioned
to their initial forces to carry the
weight of the newly erected segment.
Stage 4: The bridge is closed at mid
span and the additional loading is
applied.

COMPARISION
Advantages over other bridge types
Longer main spans
Less material may be required than other bridge
types, even at spans they can achieve, leading to a
reduced construction cost
Except for installation of the initial temporary
cables, little or no access from below is required
during construction, for example allowing a
waterway to remain open while the bridge is built
above
Disadvantages over other bridge types
Considerable stiffness may be required
to prevent the bridge deck vibrating
under high winds
The relatively low deck stiffness
compared to other (non-suspension)
types of bridges makes it more difficult
to carry heavy rail traffic where high
concentrated live loads occur
A suspension bridge can be made out of simple
materials such as wood and common wire rope.
May be better to withstand earthquake
movements than heavier and more rigid bridges
