Abstract
The Lazer – McKenna mathematical model of a suspension bridge applied to the Adomi Bridge in Ghana is presented.
Numerical methods accessible in commercially available Computer Algebraic System “MATLAB” are used to analyse the second order non-linear ordinary differential equation.
Simulations are performed using an efficient SIMULINK scheme, the bridge responses are investigated by varying the various parameters of the bridge
