A suspension bridge deck is suspended from above on a catenary cable between two fixed points. The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge. Using suspension techniques, great spans with minimum obstruction under can be created. A beam or truss (reinforced beam) bridge deck is supported from underneath on a construction of beams or arches (bent beams). longer, stronger spans favour the beam truss method of construction, especially where wind generated sway is an issue. The Sydney Harbour Bridge is a Beam/Truss bridge.

What is the main difference between an arch bridge and a suspension bridge?
Arch bridges are in the shape of an upside down "U" with mainly steel beans, while supension bridges have one or two Major verticle beams with strong wire connecting to the bridge.
List and describe the major types of bridges?

How is the suspension bridge different from most other modern bridges?
In simple terms, cable stayed use less cables then a suspension bridge. They are a combination of both beam and suspension. Suspension bridges hold the "deck" (where vehicles cross), via the cables, hence the term "suspension"; whereas, a cable stayed has the deck connected via the cables to anchorage points.
Are arch bridges better that beam bridges?
arch bridges can support more weight than beam bridges but for price i say beam won.
What are the Strengths and weaknesses of major types of bridges?
Major types of bridges, such as beam, arch, and suspension bridges, each have distinct strengths and weaknesses. Beam bridges are simple and cost-effective for short spans but can be limited in load capacity. Arch bridges are strong and aesthetically pleasing, effectively distributing loads, but they require solid abutments and are less suitable for very long spans. Suspension bridges can span great distances and support heavy loads, yet they are complex to design and build, making them more expensive.
Why beam bridges were built?
Beam Bridges were built to make longer and more durable bridges.
What do suspension bridges look like?
Suspension bridges look a little bit likecable-stayed bridges.
