What are the forces of an arch bridge?
Tension and Compression
What is a trust bridge?
You must be referring to a "truss bridge". A truss bridge is a bridge that has straight connectors. These connectors are stressed from 2 kinds of stressors; tension and compression. It is one of the oldest and simplest bridges.
What makes Truss bridge stable?
Truss bridges are made up of triangles which are quite stable since all loads are carried mostly in tension/compression and not bending. Long members may not be stablebecause of buckling in compression, butt most truss designs will account for that.
What are Disadvantages of the Pratt truss bridge?
The pratt truss is efficient because the longer diagonal members are in tension and the shorter vertical members are in compression. Members in tension fail because the member is stressed to materials maximum stress capacity. Members in compression usually fail through buckling because of instability long before the materials maximum stress is reached.
What does a compression program do?
what does a compression program do? what does a compression program do?
How does a arch bridge use compression?
An arch bridge uses compression to hold itself together
What is the force in a bridge?
compression
What forces act on the Tower Bridge of London?
First of all, the force of compression impacts the bridge. Also, the force of tension inmpacts the bridge because the more cars there are or any weight the bridge stretches which is tension. tthe force of gravity weighs the bridge down and that is why the bridge has to withstand that. Wind can affect the tower bridge because if there is a huriccane the bridge has to be able to stand without any damage.

What are the forces of an arch bridge?
Tension and Compression
What is the force that pushes on or squeezes bridge parts?
Compression
What is the load of the golden gate bridge?
the load is compression and tension
What part of the suspension bridge receives the most compression?
the middle of the bridge because that where all the precure goes

Is an arched roman bridge under compression or tension?
it is under compression since both sides are being pushed towards each other.
In an arch bridge where is the force from the load taken?
Sideways and down the bridge's arch pillars, keeping all points of contact in compression.
What forces act on cantilever bridges?
Compression, Tension, Torsion, and the other is either bending or shear.
