What is another word for suspension structure?
Pronunciation: [səspˈɛnʃən stɹˈʌkt͡ʃə] (IPA) 
A suspension structure is a type of architecture used to support weight and maintain balance. Synonyms for this term include suspension bridge, cable-stayed structure, and suspended span. Suspension bridges are built with strong cables that suspend the weight of the bridge deck, while cable-stayed structures use cables anchored at one end and attached to the deck at intervals. Suspended spans are similar to suspension bridges, but typically have a shorter span and use lighter cables. Other terms that can be used interchangeably with suspension structure include catenary, tensile, and hanging structures. Regardless of the name used, all of these constructions allow for dynamic movement and flexibility, while also providing robust support for weight-bearing structures.
