Bridge is a structure built to span across a valley, road, body of water, or other physical
resistance, for the purpose of providing passage over an obstacle. Bridges are those marvel in
civil engineering tool kit which help in connecting the places located on other side of bank.
Varieties of bridges have evolved from history. Of them one is suspension bridge. It is
constructed to span across water body or valley. Nowadays these are the pioneers in bridge
technology. Of all the bridge types in use today, the suspension bridge allows for the longest span
ranging from 2,000 to 7,000 feet. Also they have quite attractive view which has added to the
gloom of suspension bridges.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We cannot achieve anything worthwhile in the field of technical education until or unless the
theoretical education acquired in the classroom is effectively wedded to its practical approach
that is taking place in the modern industries and research institute. Although an engineer can only
be successful through hard work, but the contribution of his teachers and all those who have been
helpful cannot be overlooked.
We take this opportunity to express our gratitude to our project guide, and esteemed personality
Er. AJAY KUMAR, Head of CIVIL DEPARTMENT under whose expert guidance we
completed our project successfully. We are grateful for his encouragement, valuable suggestions
and guidance. He provided us with valuable tips and solutions to our repeatedly occurring
problems. Our sincere, effective and deep gratitude is due to him for his excellent spirit, effective
guidance, which gave us the confidence to complete the work of training and project work.
Practical knowledge provided by industry, institute and company is helpful in knowing us the
working trends, in gathering knowledge in knowing us how to work together in a group and how
to work in coordination with all others.
