The problem with iron bridges was that the material was not as reliable as carbon steel, so it was replaced starting in the late 1800s and was completely unavailable for bridge building by the early 1900s. Bridges in the late 1700s were made of cast iron, but, by the early 1800s, cast iron gave way to wrought iron.

How are truss bridges built to withstand force?

The initial popularity of the truss bridge was based primarily on its simplicity of construction and economics of building the bridges. In the 1800s, wood was cheap and plentiful. Wood was an ideal construction material because it was flexible and elastic to some degree and could withstand the variety of forces that acted against it. The early truss bridges were built from wooden timbers and were constructed in trestle forms where they were composed of a braced framework of timbers, piles or steel beams built to carry roads or railroads over a depression in the landscape topography.
