One disadvantage of a beam bridge is that they can be costly to build. Beam bridges can use cheap materials like concrete, but need to be supported with other materials that are expensive like steel mesh.

∙ 15y ago1- Very heavy members
2- Camber in beams and slabs
3- Very small margin for error
4- Connections may be difficult
5- Need bracing during on-site erection of structure
6- somewhat limited building design flexibility

j
Disadvantages of Glass fiber reinforced concrete?
no ductility
What is high strength concrete?
Concrete with compressive strength more than 55 MPa is known as high strength concrete.It is used in the construction of bridges, dams. etc.,High strength concrete is produced by adding normal constituents of concrete with admixtures.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of compacting concrete using a vibrator?
The main disadvantage of compacting concrete using a cement vibrator is the noise. The advantages of compacting concrete using a cement vibrator is to remove trapped air and excess water which then allows the concrete settle firmly.
What is the difference between Structural Concrete and Non structural Concrete?
Structural concrete is used in the construction of buildings, bridges, dams, etc. Typically there are more codes governing the use of concrete as a construction material and the concrete used has higher strength. Non-structural concrete is typically defined as being used for the construction of non structural elements. These could be parking lots, sidewalks, handicap ramps, etc. A lower strength concrete can be used and there are less rules pertaining to its use.
What are disadvantages of wooden bridges?
They rot and break down because they are soggy. they get old and they do not last as long as a concrete bridg.
