Abstract
In this paper a method is developed by which the additional cable stress and the deflection curve produced in a suspension bridge either by live load or by temperature variation may be directly calculated. Due to the quick convergence of the series used, the deflections and the bending moments in the span truss can be calculated in much shorter time than by the usual method.
