Most highway beam bridges are made of concrete and steel. Beam Bridges are in the form of plate grinders, box grinders or trusses.
The components are a strong cross piece and for a long distance their are piers at the end
metal and fire
The different between suspension bridge and beam bridge are beam bridge are for short distance but suspension bridge for long distance. Beam bridge are used for highway passes and suspension bridge for wide waterway passes.
Well, as far as I know, the beam bridge is inefficient compared to other bridges. Single piece beam bridges made from wood or any other easily bent material deflects.
Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge is the longest beam bridge in the world and is approx 164.8 kilometres long.

An example of a beam bridge is Chesapeake Bay bridge-tunnel Site: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/buildingbig/bridge/index.html

Well with a beam it allows the bridge to support the bridge

The first beam bridge was built in America
The Banpo Bridge is a girder bridge.
Arch bridge: the span beam of bridge is the shape of an arch & the load is diverted in compressive method. Beam bridge: the shape of beam span is of simply supported or continuous. here the load is diverted through bending compression method.
