a type of 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.
An arch bridge uses compression to hold itself together
compression
the part of a bridge supported by the piers and abutments
A suspension bridge.
Tension and Compression
The bridge is supported by an arch or a series on arches to make the bridge stronger.
Compression
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.
