How are bridges classified?
Bridges are classified by 3 criteria: material, structure, and construction method. Materials include steel, reinforced concrete, and stone. Bridge structures often seen range from cable suspension bridges to simple arch bridges. Bridges built with the cantilever effect are usually suspension bridges, and are supported only on one side until completion, whereas bridges built via the incremental launch method are built pieces at a time, with regular supports to the ground at each segment.
Why were bridges built?
to cross bodies of water such as arroyos, levys, and creeks
What a metal use to build bridges?

What are the effects of expansion and contraction in the design of bridges pavements and MRT lines?
- MRT and Railway tracksif a continuous track of metal is used, it will expand in hot weather and bent. trains running on bent tracks may be derailed. to prevent this, railway tracks are laid in sections with expansion gaps between them. A sliding joint between adjoining rails allows them to expand without bending.- bridgesboth concrete and steel bridges are built with allowance for expansion and contraction due to changes in the surrounding temperatures. Rollers and sliding joints allow for the movements of the bridges as it expands and contracts
What are bridges built from?
