Who say nah Fashola build the bridge? (As if nah Lagos state project). It was not built using tax payers sweat. That is a project carried out by a private firm, who would have to collect tolls to get back all their investments on it. |

shymexx:ekoilee called me ignorant for disputing this as a suspension bridge even with all the columns from the water carrying the load.please which part of the deck are the cables suspending? I rest my case. |
Re: Governor Fashola Builds First Suspension Bridge In Nigeria by JustEmmy(m): 6:27pm On Apr 30, 2013 |
This bridge in question is a cable-stay bridge, which is a modern type and improved form of suspension bridges. Older suspension bridges had two towers or pylons but cable stay bridges have one pylon from where cables descend to carry the deck. What is not in doubt is that a very good and modern bridge has been built. And the cable-stayed section did not have to cover the entire length, just the required section for whatever reason that necessitated it. |
Re: Governor Fashola Builds First Suspension Bridge In Nigeria by basilo101: 6:28pm On Apr 30, 2013 |
what type of suspension bridge is this? the bridge piers still have short spans hence the aim of using a suspension bridge is already defeated. those cables suspending the short suspended part of the bridge is virtually of no structural significance since the bridge can still stand without it, it only helps in giving the bridge more aesthetic appeal. the aim of using suspension bridge is to achieve longer spans of the bridge piers and do less work during pile driving |
Re: Governor Fashola Builds First Suspension Bridge In Nigeria by naptu2: 6:38pm On Apr 30, 2013 |
debosky: No one can make a definitive statement about the bridge, however it is very unlikely that the cable supports will be merely for 'fancy'. Based on the video provided on youtube, you have two bridge sections - the full span approach bridge, and the 'full' cable stay (or stayed) bridge supported by the pylon. |

let leave sentiment out of this. Most of our leaders lack IDEAS. No Development Competition in them. There suppose to be Whao everyday in them. Let one governor stand up and say ok for one year he wil be paying 2 local government unemployed youths some token amount. |

kross_01: What about the the pics of suspension bridge with columns all over like like the one in Canada up there? You are arguing over deigns and not what is or not a suspension bridge. Don't feed me your opinion, I prefer you come up with your own definition for suspension bridge.. |

tosh_acer: No be person build Third Mainland Bridge? No be person build the two Ikeja bridges? (Mike Akhigbe). Which one dem wan kill us for say person build bridge? How is celebrating a good thing "killing you"? There was a commissioning ceremony when Shagari completed the first phase of Third Mainland Bridge, even though he didn't finish the whole bridge. There was another commissioning ceremony when Babangida finished the bridge (remember the image of Rasaki dancing to Sir Shina Peters' music on the bridge?). In fact, there was a party on Third Mainland Bridge! How is that killing you? What is wrong with building the first cable stayed bridge in West Africa? |

eko ilee:[b]A suspension bridge is a type of bridge in which the deck (the load-bearing portion) is hung below suspension cables on vertical suspenders.Bridges without vertical suspenders have a long history in many mountainous parts of the world. This type of bridge has cables suspended between towers, plus vertical suspender cables that carry the weight of the deck below, upon which traffic crosses. This arrangement allows the deck to be level or to arc upward for additional clearance. Like other suspension bridge types, this type often is constructed without falsework. The suspension cables must be anchored at each end of the bridge, since any load applied to the bridge is transformed into a tension in these main cables. The main cables continue beyond the pillars to deck-level supports, and further continue to connections with anchors in the ground. The roadway is supported by vertical suspender cables or rods, called hangers. In some circumstances the towers may sit on a bluff or canyon edge where the road may proceed directly to the main span, otherwise the bridge will usually have two smaller spans, running between either pair of pillars and the highway, which may be supported by suspender cables or may use a truss bridge to make this connection. In the latter case there will be very little arc in the outboard main cables.[/b] excerpt from wikipedia en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_bridge i am not arguing over design, my point is that you can not call that a suspension bridge when the supposed deck that are supposed to be suspended by cables are perfectly resting on columns that are bearing the load. Which part of the bridge is being suspended hia please 1 Like |
Re: Governor Fashola Builds First Suspension Bridge In Nigeria by tpia5: 8:06pm On Apr 30, 2013 |
Its a single pylon bridge, also known as cable stayed bridge. There are different types of suspension bridges. I believe cables arent only for supporting decks, but also for weight distribution, and this can be done in different ways. Just guessing here. |
