	Inca rope bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bridges of this type were suitable for use since the Inca people did not use wheeled transport - traffic was limited to pedestrians and livestock.
		Part of the bridge's strength and reliability came from the fact that each cable was replaced every year by local villagers as part of their mita public service or obligation.
		The greatest bridges of this kind resided in the Apurimac Canyon along the main road north from Cuzco.

	Suspension Bridges
		Rope splicing is a very strong method of fixing a loop eye or joining two ends together; as the rope is pulled tighter, the spliced strands become more and more squeezed and locked into place.
		The ropes should be positioned apart by about the distance from foot to shoulder of the largest person to use the suspension bridge.
		If the lower rope is too near the ground then there is a possibility of actually touching the ground at the center of the rope bridge.

	Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge
		Spanning a chasm some eighty feet deep is the famous Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge, it's construction once consisted of a single rope hand rail and widely spaced slats which the fishermen would traverse across with salmon caught off the island.
		The single handrail was subsequently replaced by a two hand railed bridge, the current, caged bridge was installed by the National Trust during Easter of 2000 as a further safety measure.
		Primarily a 'seasonal' working bridge for the fishermen, since the demise of salmon fishing along the coast, the bridge is nowadays more widely used by passing visitor's and marketed as a tourist attraction.

	Suspension Bridge Technical Data
		On small bridges this proved to be an expensive procedure and consequently placed the suspensiontype bridge at an economic disadvantage for the shorter span crossings.
		The suspension bridge is inherently a flexible structure and in the majority of cases some form of stiffening must he incorporated in the design.
		An important item to be determined by the computer of suspension bridge calculations is the free cable sag-the elevation at which the cables must be set when hanging under their own weight only, to make certain that the fullyloaded bridge will come k~ rest at the right elevation.

		Lay 1 trestle under the long ropes so that the top of the trestle is about 3m (10ft) from the 1st anchor and the bottom of the trestle is pointing at the anchor.
		Slip the second trestle under the 3 long ropes so that the top of the trestle is about 10m from the 1st trestle, and the base is pointing at the 1st trestle.
		Equally space the stringer ropes (~1 metre - 3ft apart) the entire length between the trestles and attach them by tying a "round turn two half hitches" to the handrail and a "clove hitch" to the footrope.

		If there only going to be one person on the bridge at a time, you might precompute the values for each position of each plank depending on the plank the person is on.
		The start and end of your bridge can be the start and end point of a bezier curve and then for each person on the bridge, add a bezier point.
		Rope bridges sway and wiggle alot when you're walking on them, and if you want it not to very much, just apply a dampening force proportional to the velocity.

		Today, the rickety bridge is safely enclosed by a network of ropes on both sides, but not all visitors are willing to wiggle and wobble their way across a chasm that measures 30 meters or nearly 100 feet deep and 14 meters or 46 feet wide).
		The bridge is open from mid-March to early October, when it's taken down so it won't be swept away by winter storms.
		And while the bridge is fun to cross, the real reward is the view from tiny Carrick Island, where--if you're lucky, as I was--you may see a razorbill dive into a clear, shallow pool and fly underwater in search of fish.
