  2. Beam bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_bridge

    Multispan plate girder bridge deck on concrete piers. Beam bridges are the simplest structural forms for bridge spans supported by an abutment or pier at each end. [1] No moments are transferred throughout the support, hence their structural type is known as simply supported. The simplest beam bridge could be a log (see log bridge), a wood ...

  3. Girder bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girder_bridge

    The stubs at the eastern end of the Dunn Memorial Bridge give a good cross section of girder bridge construction. A rolled steel girder is a girder that has been fabricated by rolling a blank cylinder of steel through a series of dies to create the desired shape. These create standardized I-beam and wide flange beam [7] shapes up to 100 feet in ...

  4. Pier (bridge structure) - Wikipedia

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

    The pier of a bridge is an intermediate support that holds the deck of the structure. It is a massive and permanent support, as opposed to the shoring , which is lighter and provides temporary support.

  5. Pier (architecture) - Wikipedia

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

    Pier (architecture) The Pont du Gard (c.19 BC), Nîmes; 3 rows of piers with arches springing from them to support the bridge. A pier, in architecture, is an upright support for a structure or superstructure such as an arch or bridge. Sections of structural walls between openings (bays) can function as piers.

  6. 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.

  7. Rigid-frame bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid-frame_bridge

    A Rigid-frame bridge is a bridge in which the superstructure and substructure are rigidly connected to act as a continuous unit. Typically, the structure is cast monolithically, making the structure continuous from deck to foundation. The connections between members are rigid connections which transfer bending moment, axial forces, and shear ...

  8. T-beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-beam

    A T-beam (or tee beam), used in construction, is a load-bearing structure of reinforced concrete, wood or metal, with a capital 'T'-shaped cross section. The top of the T-shaped cross section serves as a flange or compression member in resisting compressive stresses. The web (vertical section) of the beam below the compression flange serves to ...

  9. Plate girder bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_girder_bridge

    Overview. In a plate girder bridge, the plate girders are typically I-beams made up from separate structural steel plates (rather than rolled as a single cross-section), which are welded or, in older bridges, bolted or riveted together to form the vertical web and horizontal flanges of the beam. In some cases, the plate girders may be formed in ...
