A suspension bridge is a type of bridge that is designed to suspend the deck from cables. There are several synonyms for suspension bridge such as cable-stayed bridge, hanging bridge, tensegrity bridge, and catenary bridge. The cable-stayed bridge is similar to suspension bridge but the cables are attached to towers or pylons instead of being anchored in the ground. A hanging bridge is a small-scale suspension bridge that pedestrian can cross. A tensegrity bridge is a unique type of suspension bridge that utilizes compression and tension within its structure. Lastly, catenary bridge is a type of suspension bridge that forms an arc-shaped cable between two towers with the same curve as a hanging chain.
