Arch bridges are always under compression. The force of compression is pushed outward along the curve of the arch toward the abutments.The natural curve of the arch and its ability to dissipate the force outward greatly reduces the effects of tension on the underside of the arch. The greater the degree of curvature (the larger the semicircle of the arch), however, the greater the effects of tension on the underside.Therefore, if the arch is a perfect circle, the tension is negligible.

Tension, Compresion, and Shear :)
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.
