What is a bridge that lifts up in the center for ships called?
A drawbridge. There are different types of draw bridges. A bridge that lifts the roadbed straight up along two towers is called a lift bridge. One that tilts one side or the other using a cantilever system is called a cantilever bridge. A bridge that pivots the span from its center allowing vessels to pass on either side is called a swing bridge. All these bridges are considered draw bridges.
Give a example of a suspension bridge that failed and explain the cause?
Tacoma Narrows Bridge in 1940. This bridge was the 3rd longest suspension bridge when it was completed. Four months after is was opened it collapsed due to wind. The wind created vibrations in the bridge as it blew across the roadway. The bridge normally experienced vertical wave-like movement until on Nov. 7, 1940 when the 42mph wind came and caused the bridge to start twisting in addition to the vertical motion. The entire center span fell into the sound below.

What is the purpose of the suspension bridges?
The purpose of a suspension bridge is to carry traffic across a body of water without the use of too many legs. Let's say two cities are separated by a river. Naturally, the governments would want to build a bridge over the water, to connect the two cities more easily. Then they realize that under the river, the terrain is very rough and deep. Instead of spending billions of dollars on leveling the terrain to accommodate the bridge legs, they decide to build one main vertical support on each side of the river. They have vertical cables (held by horizontal cables strung between the towers) supporting the bridge where there are no legs, thus eliminating the need for legs or the risk of bad support in the center of the bridge, already being the weakest.
