Railway bridges are built according to the "Manual for Railway Engineering" [12] published by the American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA). [8] In Australia, the subject is covered in the Australian standard AS 5100.2:2017, "Bridge design, Part 2: Design loads".
A simple suspension bridge (also rope bridge, swing bridge (in New Zealand), suspended bridge, hanging bridge and catenary bridge) is a primitive type of bridge in which the deck of the bridge lies on two parallel load-bearing cables that are anchored at either end. They have no towers or piers.

Stressed ribbon bridge: a modern descendant of the simple suspension bridge. The deck lies on the main cables, but is stiff, not flexible. Suspension bridge (more precisely, suspended-deck suspension bridge): the most familiar type. Though technically all the types listed here are suspension bridges, when unqualified with adjectives the term ...
Structural design codes are based upon the assumption that both the loads and the material strengths vary with a normal distribution. [ citation needed ] The job of the structural engineer is to ensure that the chance of overlap between the distribution of loads on a structure and the distribution of material strength of a structure is ...

A girder bridge is a bridge that uses girders as the means of supporting its deck. [1] The two most common types of modern steel girder bridges are plate and box. [citation needed] The term "girder" is often used interchangeably with "beam" in reference to bridge design.
A stressed ribbon bridge (also stress-ribbon bridge or catenary bridge [1]) is a tension structure similar in many ways to a simple suspension bridge. The suspension cables are embedded in the deck, which follows a catenary arc between supports. As with a simple suspension bridge, the weight is taken by the suspension cables, but unlike the ...
