Paper Summary

The article introduces a new theory for suspension bridges that can be applied to bridges of different sizes and shapes. The theory can be used for bridges with various numbers of spans, whether they are connected or not, and whether they are symmetrical or not. It can also be used for bridges with or without tie cables.
