What are the forces of an arch bridge?
Tension and Compression
What is a trust bridge?
You must be referring to a "truss bridge". A truss bridge is a bridge that has straight connectors. These connectors are stressed from 2 kinds of stressors; tension and compression. It is one of the oldest and simplest bridges.
What makes Truss bridge stable?
Truss bridges are made up of triangles which are quite stable since all loads are carried mostly in tension/compression and not bending. Long members may not be stablebecause of buckling in compression, butt most truss designs will account for that.
What are Disadvantages of the Pratt truss bridge?
Well, honey, let me tell you - the Pratt truss bridge may be strong and reliable, but it ain't perfect. One disadvantage is that it requires more materials than some other bridge designs, which can drive up costs. Plus, those diagonal members can be a pain to maintain and inspect. But hey, no bridge is flawless, am I right?

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.
What part of the suspension bridge receives the most compression?
the middle of the bridge because that where all the precure goes
What is the load of the golden gate bridge?
the load is compression and tension
What parts of a suspension bridge experience tension when a load is applied and what parts experience compression?
In a suspension bridge, the main cables experience tension as they support the weight of the bridge and any additional loads. The vertical suspenders, which connect the main cables to the bridge deck, also experience tension. Conversely, the bridge deck itself experiences compression, particularly at its midsection, as it is pushed down by the load. Additionally, the towers that support the cables experience compression due to the forces transmitted from the cables.
Would a cantilever bridge be under tension and compression?
Yes, a cantilever bridge experiences both tension and compression. The cantilever arms, which extend horizontally from the main support, are in compression at the top due to the weight they carry, while the bottom section experiences tension as it pulls away from the support. This balance of forces allows the bridge to maintain stability and support loads effectively.
What is the difference between compression and tension and how does it affect your bridge?
Compression is pushing things together and tension is pulling things apart. A clothesline is under tension and a stack of firewood is under compression. How it affects the bridge depends on how well it is engineered. Properly built it'll hold up to its various loads w/o problems,
