What forces act on the Tower Bridge of London?

The Tower Bridge of London is primarily subjected to three main forces: compression, tension, and shear. Compression forces act downwards on the bridge, pushing the structure together. Tension forces act upwards, pulling the structure apart. Shear forces act parallel to the surface, causing different parts of the bridge to slide past each other. These forces must be carefully considered in the design and maintenance of the bridge to ensure its structural integrity.
