Types of bridges By Lauren Arnold 1~8~13 Principles of manufacturing
Beam • A beam bridge is one of the easiest types of bridges It is also very common it could be used in making highways/freeways. A beam Bridge is made of concrete or steel maybe even both
Arch On an arch bridge wait is stretched out, It curves in were the arch touches the ground that’s the only thing holding it up. A bridge in which the main supporting elements are arches. Arch bridges are very common, you can see the arch bridge over an ocean or a lake.
Suspension bridge • A bridge that has a roadway supported by cables that are anchored usually passing over towers and securely anchored at both ends.
Cable Bridges • A type of suspension bridge in which the supporting cables are connected directly to the bridge deck without the use of suspenders, you can use a cable bridge pretty much anywhere.
Cantilever Bridge A cantilever bridge is a bridge built using cantilever structures that go sideways into the air supported on only one end. For small bridges the cantilevers may be simple beams, however large cantilever bridges are made to handle road or rail traffic use they are built from steel. You can use a Cantilever bridge when caring heavy loads.
