A stressed ribbon bridge (also stress-ribbon bridge or catenary bridge [1]) is a tension structure similar in many ways to a simple suspension bridge. The suspension cables are embedded in the deck, which follows a catenary arc between supports. As with a simple suspension bridge, the weight is taken by the suspension cables, but unlike the ...
A stressed ribbon bridge also has one or more catenary curves and a deck laid on the main cables. Unlike a simple suspension bridge however, a stressed ribbon bridge has a stiff deck, usually due to the addition of compression elements (concrete slabs) laid over the main cables.
In free-hanging chains, the force exerted is uniform with respect to length of the chain, and so the chain follows the catenary curve. [30] The same is true of a simple suspension bridge or "catenary bridge," where the roadway follows the cable. [31] [32] A stressed ribbon bridge is a more sophisticated structure with the same catenary shape ...
Stressed ribbon bridge: a modern descendant of the simple suspension bridge. The deck lies on the main cables, but is stiff, not flexible. Suspension bridge (more precisely, suspended-deck suspension bridge): the most familiar type. Though technically all the types listed here are suspension bridges, when unqualified with adjectives the term ...

The third is a 40-metre (130 ft) granite slab and steel cable stressed ribbon bridge called Pùnt da Suransans located near Thusis. [8] [9] Built in 1999, the Pùnt da Suransans crosses the Hinterrhein River in the shadow of the Great Viamala Bridge, a viaduct of the A13 motorway designed by Christian Menn.
This 368' (112m) long steel stressed ribbon/arch combination bridge is the first of its kind in North America. A steel arch with a span of 163' (49.5m) supports steel stress ribbons and precast concrete planks over the river complementing the adjacent historic Lancaster Avenue vehicular bridge.
