BRIDGES ((H: What Structure Of Bridge Increased Its stability? Why?, The…

- - - - ARCH BRIDGE
        1.Uses arch as a main structural component.
        2.The core component of the bridge is the abutments and pillars
        3.Can support any type of use including pedestrians, traffic, rail and water.
        4.Uses tension and threatens in a certain way.
    - - BEAM BRIDGE
        1.Simplest, oldest, and cheapest type of bridge.
        2.Basic form, consists a horizontal beam that is supported each end by pier
        3.Distance between the pillars are equal (The more distance, the weaker the bridge)
    - - DA VINCI BRIDGE
        Related to the Arch bridge
    - - SUSPENSION BRIDGE
        1.Use ropes or cables from vertical suspender to hold the weight of the bridge and traffic.
        
        Able to suspend over large spans
        
        Very flexible and can respond to the force of wind, earthquakes or traffic well.
    - - TRUSS BRIDGE
        1.Triangle shaped posts above the bridge helps distribute forces across the whole bridge. Leading to the bridge to be able to handle much stronger forces and heavier loads.
        2.Very popular design due to their incredible resilience and economic builds since It requires ad small amount of material for construction.
        3.Can be both fixed and moveable, used currently for railroad.
