The Forces on a Suspension Bridge Apparatus, manufactured by Atto Labware, is an educational trainer designed to demonstrate the distribution of forces in a suspension bridge system. It provides hands-on experience for students to study tension in cables, load transfer, and equilibrium in structural members, making it ideal for engineering colleges, technical institutes, and vocational training centers.

Educational Objectives
Students will be able to:

• Understand force distribution in suspension bridge systems.

• Study tension in main cables and suspension members.

• Analyze load transfer from the deck to the cables.

• Apply equilibrium principles to bridge structures.

• Verify theoretical calculations through practical experiments.

Performance Measurement

• Demonstration of forces in suspension bridge components.

• Measurement of tension in cables and loads on members.

• Observation of equilibrium under varying deck loads.

• Validation of theoretical calculations with experimental results.

• Analysis of structural stability and load effects.

Panel and Instruments / Components

• Rigid base frame with suspension bridge model.

• Main and hang cables with adjustable tension points.

• Deck and load hangers with calibrated weights.

• Scales, measuring devices, and angle indicators.

• Instructional panel and manuals for guided learning.

• Durable, safe, and portable construction for repeated lab use.
