Abstract
A wind-resistant suspension bridge includes a bridge tower, a bridge body, a main rope, a suspension rope and a guardrail. The suspension bridge further includes a wind-resistant rope, one end of which is connected to the bridge tower and the other end of which is connected to the main rope. The wind-resistant rope, the main rope and the bridge tower form a substantially triangle. The contact point between the bridge tower and the main rope, the connection point between the wind-resistant rope and the main rope, and the connection point between the wind-resistant rope and the bridge tower form the three vertices of the substantially triangle.
