The weight capacity of an arch bridge depends on several factors, including the materials used, the design of the arch, and the span of the bridge. Generally, arch bridges can support a wide range of loads, from a few tons to several thousand tons. For example, the famous Pont du Gard aqueduct in France, which is an ancient Roman arch bridge, was designed to carry an estimated 40,000-60,000 tons of water. Ultimately, the weight capacity of an arch bridge is determined by engineering calculations and structural analysis.
The longest span an arch bridge can go is relevent to the radius of the arch.
Donghai bridge is a kind of mixed-kind bridge. The first part is the arch bridge. The middle one is the suspension bridge and the last part is the arch bridge.
No
It's an arch.
No
the abutments at either end of the bridge anchor the arch so that it will not collapse, the weight of the arch is supported by the abutment on either end
a arch bridge can hold over 6,000 pounds
truss bridges are able to support the most weight applies to the bridge, especially when the weight is applied to the middle
The arch bridge spreads load (the weight of the bridge and the traffic on it) from the deck to the abutments (the supports at each end) and into the ground. This creates a lot of compressions.
is the ponte vecchio bridge is an arch bridge
Arches are among the oldest forms of structural support. Unlike beam bridges, arch bridges are curved. The arch carries the weight outward along the curve to the supports on each end of the bridge, called abutments. The abutments carry the load and stop the bottom of the bridge from spreading out.

if you build an arch bridge it can hold more weight then anyother type of toothpick bridge and can hold about 20lbs (if made well) another good type of bridge is the truss bridge it is just as strong as the arch bridge but it has diffrent structures.
Total weight of the steelwork: 52,800 tonnes including arch and steel approach spans. Weight of the arch: 39,000 tonnes.
it is a hybrid between an arch bridge and truss bridge. so it is classified as an arch and truss
