Longest suspension bridge in the world from its opening until 1903, and the first steel-wire suspension bridge.
John Roebling
John Roebling. He first twisted together the strands of steel to use in the building of the Brooklyn Bridge.
The Brooklyn Bridge was the first suspension bridge to use steel for its cable wire and the first to use pneumatic caissons.
Steel is used to provide the aluminium conductor with tensile strength necessary for suspension between poles or towers.
Roebling's Delaware Aqueduct built in 1847 is the oldest wire suspension bridge still in service in United States. The Chain Bridge at Falls of Schuylkill, north of Philadelphia was built in 1808 but it collapsed in 1810.
There's really no such thing as a steel wire fence without galvanising. An ungalvanized steel wire fence would rust the first time it rained. Therefore you'd rather have galvanized steel or another option. Yes, galvanized steel wire is better suited for fences instead of non-galvanized steel wire. The reason for this is that the galvanizationn process coats the steel with a zinc coating, making it rust-resistant in the presence of moisture.
Steel wire is strong.
