    The deck is flexible and lies on the main cables, which are anchored to the earth. Underspanned suspension bridge: an early 19th-century descendant of the simple suspension bridge. The deck is raised on posts above the main cables. Stressed ribbon bridge: a modern descendant of the simple suspension bridge. The deck lies on the main cables, but ...

  4. Self-anchored suspension bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-anchored_suspension...

    The load path of the self-anchored suspension (SAS) bridge converts vertical loads into tension forces in the main cables which are countered by compressive forces in the towers and deck. The system balances forces internally without external anchorage requirements, making it suitable for sites where large horizontal forces are difficult to anchor.

    Forces on post-tensioned concrete with profiled (curved) tendon Post-tensioned tendon anchorage; four-piece lock-off wedges are visible holding each strand. Post-tensioned concrete is a variant of prestressed concrete where the tendons are tensioned after the surrounding concrete structure has been cast. [1]: 25

  7. Earth anchor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_anchor

    Single helix earth anchors Guyed mast anchor. An earth anchor is a device designed to support structures, most commonly used in geotechnical and construction applications. Also known as a ground anchor, percussion driven earth anchor or mechanical anchor, it may be impact driven into the ground or run in spirally, depending on its design and intended force-resistance characteristics.
