Bridges work by distributing the weight of vehicles and pedestrians across their structure, using a combination of materials like steel and concrete to provide strength and support. The design of the bridge, including its arches, beams, and cables, helps to evenly distribute the load and prevent the structure from collapsing under the weight.

What would be carried by suspension?
Suspension can carry vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and motorcycles. It can also carry components like shock absorbers, springs, and control arms to enhance vehicle stability, handling, and comfort while driving. Additionally, suspension bridges use suspension to support their structure and carry the weight of vehicles and pedestrians.
Are arch bridges better that beam bridges?
arch bridges can support more weight than beam bridges but for price i say beam won.
What effect does gravity have on bridges ability to hold weight?
If gravity increases, the bridge is subjected to more weight. If gravity decreases, the bridge is subjected to less weight. Either way, the bridge will have a maximum weight that will remain the same regardless of the gravitational environment.
What is the best type of bridge?
truss bridges are able to support the most weight applies to the bridge, especially when the weight is applied to the middle
What is a curve in bridges or over doorways?
The curve that is used in bridges and over doorways is an arch. An arch is the curved part that is over an opening and it helps support the weight above the opening.
Why do you think pillars supporting bridges and high buildings are built broad at the bottom?
To make themstudier and so they can support the weight of themselves.
How much do beam bridges cost to build?
No one answer. How big is the bridge you want? How high, how wide, how long, to support how much weight?
How do beam bridges support weight or load on them?
Instead of pushing straight down, the load of an arch bridge is carried outward along the curve of the arch to the supports at each end. The weight is transferred to the supports at either end.
Do the police use 18 wheelers to transport their air support and swat vehicles?
Typically, no. Wheeled vehicles can transport themselves, and air support vehicles can fly. If it's a tracked vehicle, it'll need to be transported, and what's used to transport it depends on the weight of the vehicle itself.
What does support wires mean?
Support wires are ropes, cables, or metal wires that provide structural support to objects such as tents, clotheslines, or suspension bridges. They help distribute weight and tension to prevent sagging or collapse.
What are the weaknesses of a cable bridge?
The bridges weight.
Are truss bridges strong for their weight?
Yes they are
