Abstract
With the completion of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge and the Storebælt
East Bridge the development of the suspension bridge technology in
the 20th century has manifested itself in two impressive
structures. With the present echnology may bridges of similar (and
also more modest) dimensions will undoubtedly be built far into
the next century. For bridges going beyond the spans of existing
bridges it is, however, likely that new concepts will be developed.
