TYPES OF BRIDGES BEAM BRIDGE CANTILEVER BRIDGE ARCH BRIDGE SUSPENSION BRIDGE CABLE-STAYED BRIDGE MOVABLE BRIDGE DOUBLE-DECKED BRIDGE
3
BEAM BRIDGE A beam or "girder" bridge is the simplest kind of bridge
4
Under load, the beam's top surface is pushed down or compressed while the bottom edge is stretched or placed under tension

CANTILEVER BRIDGE Cantilever bridges are built using cantilevers—horizontal beams that are supported on only one end.
8
Huge pillars take up the compression which are held up by the narrow top members. Attached to these are the complicated struts and cross bracing which withstand the forces causing buckling and twisting

ARCH BRIDGE Arch bridges are one of the oldest types of bridges and have been around for thousands of years
12
The load at the top of the key stone makes each stone on the arch of the bridge press on the one next to it. This happens until the push is applied to the end supports or abutments, which are embedded in the ground
13
The ground around the abutments is squeezed and pushes back on the abutments
14
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The ground which pushes back on the abutments creates a resistance which is passed from stone to stone, until it is eventually pushing on the key stone which is supporting the load

SUSPENSION BRIDGE Suspension bridges in their simplest form were originally made of rope and wood. Modern suspension bridges use a box section roadway supported by high tensile strength cables
19
Cables are capable of withstanding tension but offer no resistance to compression

CABLE-STAYED BRIDGE A cable-stayed bridge is a bridge that consists of one or more columns, with cables supporting the bridge deck

MOVABLE BRIDGES Movable bridges are designed to move out of the way of boats or other kinds of traffic, which would otherwise be too tall to fit. These are generally electrically powered
25
Drawbridge - the bridge deck is hinged on one end Tilt bridge - the bridge deck, which is curved and pivoted at each end, is lifted up at an angle Curling bridge - a drawbridge with multiple sections that curl vertically
26
Rolling bascule bridge - an unhinged drawbridge which is lifted by the rolling of a large gear segment along a horizontal rack Bascule bridge - a drawbridge hinged on pins with a counterweight to facilitate raising Folding bridge - a drawbridge with multiple sections that collapse together horizontally
27
Submersible bridge - also called a ducking bridge, the bridge deck is lowered down into the water Swing bridge - the bridge deck rotates around a fixed point, usually at the center, but may resemble a gate in its operation Table bridge - a lift bridge with the lifting mechanism mounted underneath it
28
Retractable bridge (Thrust bridge) - the bridge deck is retracted to one side Transporter bridge - a structure high above carries a suspended, ferry-like structure Lift bridge - the bridge deck is lifted up by counterweighted cables mounted on towers
