Friction plays a crucial role in the performance of suspension bridges by affecting how forces are distributed across the structure. It can lead to energy dissipation, impacting the dynamic response of the bridge during wind loads or traffic vibrations. Excessive friction can cause wear and reduce the efficiency of components like bearings and cables, potentially leading to maintenance issues. Conversely, some level of friction is necessary to ensure stability and control of movements in the bridge system.

yes
How are bridges classified?
Bridges are classified by 3 criteria: material, structure, and construction method. Materials include steel, reinforced concrete, and stone. Bridge structures often seen range from cable suspension bridges to simple arch bridges. Bridges built with the cantilever effect are usually suspension bridges, and are supported only on one side until completion, whereas bridges built via the incremental launch method are built pieces at a time, with regular supports to the ground at each segment.
What country is NOT home to one of three longest suspension bridges in the world?
Egypt is not home to one of the three longest suspension bridges in the world.
Who designs suspension bridges?
Civil Engineers.
What is used to stabilize suspension bridges?
Cables .
How did the suspension bridge get its name?
Suspension bridges are held, or suspended, from cables above the roadway's surface. This contrasts with bridges whose roadways are supported from underneath.
