The load of a bridge is the amount of weight that can be distributed throughout the bridge without collapsing. Engineers take into effect, wind, rain, and earthquakes when calculating the load.

What is an Example of a dead-load?

A dead load is the weight of the bridge or vehicle or building excluding the people or objects in it(An example is: If you were standing on a bridge all alone you would be the live load and the bridge itself would be the dead load)

What is the weight of people and cars on a bridge called?

Dynamic Load The "load" is the total force and weight that a structure such as a bridge is designed to withstand. For a bridge, the total load includes the "dynamic" loads of traffic, people, wind, snow, and ice and the "static" load of the bridge's own weight.


What is statical l oad?

A weight/load that does not move. For example, on a bridge, if there is a statue on the bridge, that would be considered a static load. A dynamic load is one that moves, such as cars passing over the bridge.

the load is compression and tension


What is the dead load on the tower bridge?

The dead load on the Tower Bridge refers to the permanent static weight of the bridge's structure, including its materials, such as steel, concrete, and masonry. This load is crucial for engineers to calculate as it affects the overall stability and design of the bridge. The dead load also includes any fixed components, such as walkways and decorative elements. Accurate assessment of the dead load ensures that the bridge can safely support additional live loads, such as traffic and pedestrians.


Name and describe three types of loads that must be considered in bridge construction?

In bridge construction dead load, live load, and dynamic load must be considered. Dead load is the weight of the bridge itself. Live load is the moving weight on the bridge. Dynamic load comes from outside forces like wind and vibrations.


What is the dead load and a live load and a dynamic load of an arch bridge?

The dead load is the weight of the bridge itself. The live load is things like traffic, wind, rain, etc. The dynamic load are things like earthquakes, big gusts of wind, and other things.


What is the physics behind a truss bridge?

A truss bridge uses trusses as the load bearing element of the bridge. Using statics physics, a truss bridge applies Newtonian motion to ensure that the load bearing elements do not go out of a tension/compression equilibrium.


What is the difference between beam bridge and an arch bridge?

Arch bridge: the span beam of bridge is the shape of an arch & the load is diverted in compressive method. Beam bridge: the shape of beam span is of simply supported or continuous. here the load is diverted through bending compression method.
