The span
By the way, we have the tallest bridge that supports cars to go over it, but Colorada beats us with being the tallest bridge(not a bridge that supports cars). New River Gorge Bridge is still a better bridge though ;3.
buttress
effective Distance between the two points or we can say two stations.....
distance b/w 2 supports is clear span. then c/c dis b/w 2 supports is eff span
Differentiate between a simple bridge and transparent bridge
The span
A span on a bridge is the distance between supports such as from pier to pier. A bridge can have several supports over its length. A bridge length includes the entire bridge.
The span is the distance between supports. The sum of the span lengths is the bridge length.
The bridge holds/supports the strings. The distance between the bridge and nut is the string length.
the span
When a bridge is supported by two main points or supports, it is typically referred to as a "span." The distance between these two supports is crucial in determining the type of bridge design used, such as a beam bridge or a truss bridge. If the bridge is suspended between two towers, it may also be called a "cable-stayed" or "suspension bridge," depending on the structural design.
I think you probably mean "bridge span" rather than "spam bridge." A bridge span is the part of the bridge between its supports.
The different between suspension bridge and beam bridge are beam bridge are for short distance but suspension bridge for long distance. Beam bridge are used for highway passes and suspension bridge for wide waterway passes.
