The Duisburg-Neuenkamp Bridge, which stretches 1,148 feet (350 m) across the Rhine.
the longest span of a truss bridge is 2.1 miles long
A truss bridges are designed using materials that are connected in a manner to be stressed under tension and/or compression. I truss system can be designed to be as long as necessary. Columns are also used in truss desins to reduce deflections.
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.
Arguably the longest bridge is the Bang Na Expressway, in Bangkok, Thailand. It is 33.5 miles long (54 km), but is not considered a bridge because it does not cross a single body of water, instead crossing a river and canals.The longest bridge running over a single body of water in the world is now the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge in China. 42km in length, it links China's eastern port city of Qingdao to the island of Huangdao. The bridge cost over $1.4 billion to build and was completed in mid-2011.
The longest span an arch bridge can go is relevent to the radius of the arch.
the longest span of a truss bridge is 2.1 miles long
The average length of a beam bridge is 40 meters to 500 meters. So it can only go up to 500 meters.
A cantilevered steel through truss bridge.
As far as i can tell there are 27 different types of truss bridges (i.e. Brown truss, Bowstring truss, Kingpost truss, Long truss, and Pratt truss). Hope this helps :D
Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge is the longest beam bridge in the world and is approx 164.8 kilometres long.
No. Sydney Harbour Bridge is an arch bridge. It is the world's largest steel arch bridge, measuring 134 metres (429.6 ft) from top to water level, although it is not the longest. Up until 2006, it was also the world's widest long-span bridge, at 48.8 metres wide.
The longest railway bridge in the world in the Binhai Mass Transit Bridge located in China. The bridge is 25,800 meters (84,645 feet) long. It is considered the longest bridge in the world that carries rail. In fact, it carries two-way commuter rail.
Pamban bridge is 3 kms long and connects the island of Rameshwaram & Dhanuskodi to the mainland. This is the longest bridge in India
The longest non-suspension bridge is the Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge at 164.8 km long. The longest non-suspension bridge over water is the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway at 38.35 km long. The longest non-suspension bridge span is the Russky Bridge at 1.104 km long.
There is a 1300 foot long K-Truss Bridge in Alaska.Alaska is the youngest state to implement the usage of K-trusses, as five bridges were built along the two main highways (Parks and Richardson) with the longest being a three-span 1300-foot bridge near - See more at: http://thebridgehunter.areavoices.com/2013/06/14/k-truss-bridge/#sthash.uVmDjyu2.dpuf Alaska is the youngest state to implement the usage of K-trusses, as five bridges were built along the two main highways (Parks and Richardson) with the longest being a three-span 1300-foot bridge near - See more at: http://thebridgehunter.areavoices.com/2013/06/14/k-truss-bridge/#sthash.uVmDjyu2.dpuf Alaska is the youngest state to implement the usage of K-trusses, as five bridges were built along the two main highways (Parks and Richardson) with the longest being a three-span 1300-foot bridge near - See more at: http://thebridgehunter.areavoices.com/2013/06/14/k-truss-bridge/#sthash.uVmDjyu2.dpuf
