Various shoes were employed
for the suspension bridge.
To accommodate movements in the bridge axis direction,
spring shoes were placed on the tower and the end piers.
For the bridge-transverse axis, the wind shoes were
placed. The end links were placed at the end piers to
take vertical load and accommodate large movements.
The negative reaction shoe was placed at the tower to
account for the negative reactions occurring at the
tower.
To support the load from the approaching truss bridge
and take negative(uplift) reaction at the anchorage
of the self-anchored suspension bridge, the roller shoes
were placed directly above the end link. The load of
the lower deck was transmitted to the floor beams by
the pot shoes. The truss bridge has large roller shoes(capacity:
2500-6000tonf) and pin shoes(capacity: 6000tonf)
