Talk:Simple suspension bridge

Suspended deck?
If someone can find a reliable source re the handrails on the Capilano Suspension Bridge supporting the deck, I will add that article to Category:Suspended deck bridges. Perhaps there are others as well? --Una Smith (talk) 02:28, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Verifiable reference needed
I have reviewed the references given in the article and most do not match the description given for a simple suspension bridge. Chisolm and Morely clearly define a "simple suspension bridge" as "unstiffened". They give diagrams which show the deck as suspended beneath the main cables. They describe stiffening systems. The only source that describes a bridge with the deck resting on the main cables is Bell; that book is written about trails and how to build simple bridges. I think that there must be a better reference out there. If there is not, this article is probably "original research". - ¢Spender1983 (talk) 01:32, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) REDIRECT Suspension Bridge


 * There is some ambiguity in the term "simple suspension bridge" in the literature, but I see no problem with the article using one particular definition, given that the other varieties of suspension bridge all have their own articles. -- 202.124.73.186 (talk) 12:21, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

MaxLoad
The article had this sentence; "Owing to practical limitation in the grade (i.e. the deck being an arc, not flat) and the response to dynamic loads of the bridge deck, this type is quite restricted in its load-carrying capacity relative to its span." But I do not think this is correct. The low load-carrying capacity is due to the limited construction budget. If I used the same cables that suspend the Akashi Kaikyō Bridge then the load-carrying capacity would be huge relative to the span. Do you have a reference for the assertion I deleted?
