    San Jose Del Rio: Suspension Bridge Design

    Uploaded by

    tasingenieria
    This document provides input data and calculations for the design of a suspension bridge with a main span of 80 meters and a tower height of 24 meters. It includes details on cable diameters and load cases considered, as well as calculations of tensions, reactions, and deflections for three load scenarios: the main cable acting alone with a parabolic shape, the main cable with a point load applied, and all loads combined. Charts of the cable shape under each load case are provided. Tensions and reactions are calculated for each cable diameter considered between 8-57.2 mm.
