2. Span (engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Span_(engineering)

   In engineering, span is the distance between two adjacent structural supports (e.g., two piers) of a structural member (e.g., a beam). Span is measured in the horizontal direction either between the faces of the supports (clear span) or between the centers of the bearing surfaces (effective span): [1] A span can be closed by a solid beam or by ...

3. List of longest cable-stayed bridge spans - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_longest_cable...

   The definition of cable-stayed bridge deck length used here is: A continuous part of the bridge deck that is supported only by stay-cables and pylons, or are free spans. This means that columns supporting the side span as for example found in Pont de Normandie , excludes most of the side span decks from the cable-stayed deck length.

4. 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 ]

5. Pier (bridge structure) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pier_(bridge_structure)

   In this case, the height of the structure, measured between the top of the deck and the ground, is between the values a/3 and a/2, where a denotes the span of the arch, which is generally a semicircular or elliptical arch. [7] The thickness e of the pier depends solely on the span of the arches: a/10 < e < a/8.

6. List of longest masonry arch bridge spans - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_longest_masonry...

   There are 18 stone arch bridges with spans exceeding 100 m (330 ft). [1] There are probably several dozens of stone arches exceeding 40m in the Fujian province only. [2] Almost all bridges were built after 1950. This list contains the longest masonry arch spans ever built being at least 50 metres (164 ft).

7. List of highest bridges - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest_bridges

   The deck height of a bridge is the maximum vertical drop distance between the bridge deck (the road, rail or other transport bed of a bridge) and the ground or water surface beneath the bridge span. Deck height is different from structural height, which is a measure of the maximum vertical distance from the uppermost part of a bridge, such as ...
