Massive concrete blocks embedded at both ends of the bridge, securing the main cables into the ground. Key Engineering Principles Massive concrete blocks embedded at both ends of

The main cables are under immense tension (pulling forces), bearing the weight of the deck and traffic.

A "stiffening girder" or truss is usually added along the deck to prevent twisting and swaying caused by heavy loads and wind. Advantages

Primary load-bearing elements made of high-strength steel wires bundled together; these follow a parabolic curve.
