Tension and Compression
The longest span an arch bridge can go is relevent to the radius of the arch.
In an arch bridge, the weight is distributed along the curve of the arch, transferring loads to the supports at each end. The arch shape allows the forces from the weight of the bridge and any additional loads (like traffic) to be converted into compressive forces that push outward and downward. This distribution minimizes tension, making the structure stable and efficient in handling both static and dynamic loads. The design effectively directs stresses to the ground through the abutments, ensuring stability.
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.
It's an arch.

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.
Tension and compression are the two forces that act upon a bridge.
is the ponte vecchio bridge is an arch bridge
The brooklyn bridge is not a arch bridge
The arch bridge is primarily supported by compression. In this design, the weight of the bridge and the loads it carries are transferred along the curved structure of the arch to the supports at either end. This allows the materials to handle compressive forces effectively, making arch bridges both strong and durable.
Disadvantage: An arch bridge requires a very stable foundation. The bridge diverts the tension exerted on it onto the foundations on either side of the bridge. Advantage: It is an economical mom to traverse small distances and is able to cope with bending forces.
it is a hybrid between an arch bridge and truss bridge. so it is classified as an arch and truss
Arch Bridges are: 1. Masonry arch bridges 2. trussed arch bridges. Le viaduc de Garabit in Cantal France is a famous arch bridge. The Sydney Harbour bridge is a trussed arch bridge Tacoma Bridge.
The bridge is supported by an arch or a series on arches to make the bridge stronger.
The longest span an arch bridge can go is relevent to the radius of the arch.
they did it because there is a huge arch in the middle
