An Arch bridge is a bridge with abutments at each end shaped as a curved arch.Arch bridges work by transferring the weight of the bridge and its loads partially into a horizontal thrust restrained by the abutments at either side.A viaduct (a long bridge) may be made from a series of arches, although other more economical structures are typically used today.
A Truss bridge is a bridge composed of connected elements (typically straight) which may be stressed from tension, compression, or sometimes both in response to dynamic loads.Truss bridges are one of the oldest types of modern bridges.A truss bridge is economical to construct owing to its efficient use of materials.
