Suspension Bridge Design Considerations and Math
Our Bridge - and Other Projects

The tables on the Dimensions, Suspenders, and Parts List pages here were generated by the program I wrote to assist in designing my bridge.

The Dimensions page shows the overall size and weight calculation results for our bridge.

The Suspenders page shows the size of joist, suspender length, and length of wire for each suspender from the center of the bridge to the towers.

The Parts List page shows a list of major parts needed for this bridge. Not everything you might want or need is listed. For example, I know how many bandages and pain killers I needed, but I don't have a clue how many you might need, so they are not listed.

Since the first incarnation of these pages, I've done calculations for bridge projects all over the U.S and internationally for neighbors as close as Canada and as far away as New Zealand. Feel free to drop me an e-mail if you have any questions or would like my assistance with your project. I'd love to get pictures of any bridges you've built from any of the information on these pages. I'd also love to hear from you even if you've just enjoyed reading these pages!

The links below will take you to the results pages for this and other bridge sizes I've calculated as I get the chance to add them.
