a horinontale frame and weight is distributated by the beam

It is unknown.
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
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.
They support their on weight.
A suspension bridge is designed to have cables suspended between towers plus vertical suspender cables that carry the weight of the roadway below. The Golden Gate Bridge is a great example of this type of bridge and is considered an engineering marvel.
