Wikipedia

  1. Rope bridge

    A simple suspension bridge (also rope bridge, swing bridge (in New Zealand), suspended bridge, hanging bridge and catenary bridge) is a primitive type of bridge in which the deck of the bridge lies on two parallel load-bearing cables that are anchored at either end. They have no towers or piers. The cables follow a shallow downward catenary arc which moves in response to dynamic loads on the bridge deck. The arc of the deck and its large movement under load make such bridges unsuitable for vehicular traffic. Simple suspension bridges are restricted in their use to foot traffic. For safety, they are built with stout handrail cables, supported on short piers at each end, and running parallel to the load-bearing cables. Sometime these may be the primary load-bearing element, with the deck suspended below. Simple suspension bridges are considered the most efficient and sustainable design in rural regions, especially for river crossings that lie in non-floodplain topography such as gorges.

  1. rope bridge

    A rope bridge is a type of lightweight and flexible structure of a bridge that is primarily constructed using strong ropes or cables. Its deck is usually made with planks or slats of wood or bamboo which are connected and supported by the ropes. They are typically installed over rivers or gorges and were traditionally used in hilly or tribal areas. These bridges can sway and bounce when walked across, offering a thrilling yet precarious path. They require periodic maintenance as materials can weaken over time due to environmental elements.

  1. Rope bridge

    A rope bridge is a bridge constructed chiefly of rope. In its simplest form, it can be one or two ropes that bridge a river, enabling the traveller to be supported in their crossing and not be swept away. One rope above another, for feet and hands, may be referred to as a commando bridge. More complicated rope bridges can involve the use of multiple ropes, and boards as footpaths. One of the most complex examples of a culture using these as permanent, rather than temporary crossings, is the Inca civilization.
