The weight of an arch bridge is distributed by transferring the weight of the bridge and its load outward and along the curve into an horizontal thrust retrained by the abutment at either side of the bridge to distribute the weight of the bridge evenly.

a horinontale frame and weight is distributated by the beam
The load of a bridge is the amount of weight that can be distributed throughout the bridge without collapsing. Engineers take into effect, wind, rain, and earthquakes when calculating the load.
the weight id evenly distributed because the compressing force pushing doen goes down the 2 sides
NO!
The structure transfers the weight onto the ends of the bridge, where the bridge is strongest
a live load bridge is a truck or a weight that after the bridge is made then you put the weight on the bridge and see if it holds!
OK it is mainly because the structure can not be moved. this is because all the sides support each other and the weight is distributed evenly
