Bridge Engineering (9-1)  Suspension Bridges *Components: Anchorage (blocks or tunnel type), towers, main cables, hangers, stiffened (box) girder and deck, substructure and foundation II. Form: an arch upside down or the shape of a catenary ?* * Bridge Engineering (9-1)  Suspension Bridges *III. Anchorage 3.1 The anchorage, constructed as a concrete block or by tunneling the ground, forms a giant weight to anchor the bridge and transmit the tension generated through the cables firmly to ground. 3.2 The anchorage type is determined by the terrain where the anchorage points are constructed. ?* * Bridge Engineering (9-1)  Suspension Bridges III. Anchorage 3.3 A general type anchorage that supports unidirectional forces transmitting through cables. (One block for one bridge). ?* * Bridge Engineering (9-1)  Suspension Bridges III. Anchorage 3.4 An anchorage of a type that supports bi-directional forces transmitting through cables. (One block for two bridges) __located between two bridges and serving as two anchorage points. __cable strands crossing each other in the air before entering the anchorage. ?* * Bridge Engineering (9-1)  Suspension Bridges III. Anchorage 3.4 Bi-directional forces transmitting type __The Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge use four anchorages for which three types of forms are employed. ?* * Bridge Engineering (9-1)  Suspension Bridges III. Anchorage 3.5 .1 A tunnel type anchorage which allows minimum alterations to be made to the existing landform. ?* * Bridge Engineering (9-1)  Suspension Bridges III. Anchorage 3.5.2 Cable anchor frames securing the cables to the tunnels. ?* * Bridge Engineering (9-1)  Suspension Bridges IV. Tower 4.1 The main tower functions to transmit forces through the cables and into the main tower founda
