What is the weakness of a suspension bridge?
The strengths of Truss bridges are that Truss bridges can support and resist lateral loads. Another is that unlike the Arch and Beam bridges, the Truss bridge prevents twisting and swaying during earthquakes and high winds. Truss bridges also resist the forces of compression and tension.

What forces act on truss bridge?
Forces Acting on Truss BridgesThere are two major forces that act on bridges: compression and tension. The compression force bears down on an object to shorten or compress it, while tension is the directly opposing force that lengthens and stretches the object. A spring is a good example of a simple mechanism that works with both forces. Compression pushes the coils together, thus shortening the spring and tension pulls the coils further apart, lengthening the spring
