tension pulls on the bridge, compression acts upon the supports of the bridge, and shear is created because of the wind blowing on the wind. extreme weather or earthquakes may cause torsion, but it's very rare that you'll find that in a bridge.

What innovation or invention made suspension bridges possible?
Suspension bridges are one of the oldest engineering forms, dating back to the 4th century. Modern suspension bridges were made possible by the web truss, invented by John Augustus Roebling. The web truss made a very sturdy, rigid structure that could withstand storms, wind forces, and heavy loads.
What is the propety to withstand pulling forces?
Tinsile strength
How do structures withstand force?
Structures are able to withstand outside forces by having sufficient resistance and capacity so that they can respind with equal magnitude of the forces acting over them.
Is a mountain formed by internal or external forces?

Are earthquakes internal or external forces of change?
external
What characteristic is common to all reinforced concrete bridges?
A common characteristic of reinforced concrete bridges is that they feature a combination of concrete and steel reinforcement to provide added strength and durability. The steel reinforcement helps to enhance the tensile strength of the concrete, allowing the bridge to better withstand forces like tension and bending.
