  3. Cantilever bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever_bridge

    A cantilever bridge is a bridge built using structures that project horizontally into space, supported on only one end (called cantilevers).For small footbridges, the cantilevers may be simple beams; however, large cantilever bridges designed to handle road or rail traffic use trusses built from structural steel, or box girders built from prestressed concrete.

  4. Simple suspension bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_suspension_bridge

    Here, simple suspension bridges are made by training the roots of the Ficus elastica species of banyan tree across watercourses. [11] There are examples with a span of over 170 feet (52 m). [12] They are naturally self-renewing and self-strengthening as the component roots grow thicker and some are thought to be more than 500 years old. [13 ...

  5. Box girder bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_girder_bridge

    The (non-modular) box girder bridge was a popular choice during the roadbuilding expansion of the 1960s, especially in the West, and many new bridge projects were in progress simultaneously. A serious blow to this use was a sequence of three serious disasters, when new bridges collapsed in 1970 ( West Gate Bridge and Cleddau Bridge ) and 1971 ...

    The earliest beam bridges were simple logs that sat across streams and similar simple structures. In modern times, beam bridges can range from small, wooden beams to large, steel boxes. The vertical force on the bridge becomes a shear and flexural load on the beam which is transferred down its length to the substructures on either side [26 ...

    A well-known example of this type is the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia, which is based on the Hell Gate Bridge in New York City. [2] Other bridges include the Chaotianmen Bridge in China, the world's longest through arch bridge; [3] Tyne Bridge of Newcastle upon Tyne; the Bayonne Bridge that connects New York City to New Jersey, which is longer than the Sydney Harbour Bridge; the Ahwaz ...

  9. List of longest arch bridge spans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_longest_arch...

    This list of the longest arch bridge spans ranks the world's arch bridges by the length of their main span. The length of the main span is the most common way to rank bridges as it usually correlates with the engineering complexity involved in designing and constructing the bridge. [ 1 ]
