🌉 Suspension vs Cable-Stayed vs Arch Bridge: Load Paths, Steel per Span, Resonance and Flutter (3D)

3D comparison of suspension, cable-stayed and arch bridges with the same span and load: cable tension, stay forces, arch thrust, steel per metre of deck, deck frequencies, vortex resonance and flutter speed.

⚙ Under the hood

Compare a suspension, a cable-stayed and an arch bridge over the same valley with the same span and load: cable tension H = wL^2/8f, stay forces, arch thrust, steel per metre of deck, deck frequency, vortex resonance and flutter speed. Educational conceptual-design model, simplified.
