Most highway bridges and railroad bridges are simple beam bridges. In this type of construction, the road surface or deck is supported by a series of longitudinal beams made of concrete, steel or timber. These in turn rest on bearings, which reston piers or abutments.
arch bridges can support more weight than beam bridges but for price i say beam won.
Beam Bridges were built to make longer and more durable bridges.

Well, as far as I know, the beam bridge is inefficient compared to other bridges. Single piece beam bridges made from wood or any other easily bent material deflects.
Yes, there are beam bridges in Australia , Like the Mooney Mooney Bridge.

Well, sweetheart, both beam and arch bridges are used to support weight and span a distance, but beam bridges have horizontal beams while arch bridges have a curved structure. Beam bridges are simpler to build and maintain, while arch bridges are better at handling heavy loads and spanning longer distances. So, pick your poison based on what you need - simplicity or strength.
yes it is beam bridges in the us an matter of fact I'm doing a beam with my classmates
