THERE ARE THREE MAIN TYPES OF BRIDGES:
1. BEAM BRIDGE 2. ARCH BRIDGE3. SUSPENSION BRIDGE
• THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE THREE IS THE DISTANCES THEY CAN EACH CROSS, OR SPAN.

COMPRESSION AND TENSION:
• COMPRESSION IS A FORCE WHICH ACTS TO COMPRESS OR SHORTEN THE THING IT IS ACTING ON.
- BUCKLING
• TENSION IS A FORCE WHICH ACTS TO EXPAND OR LENGTHEN THE THING IT IS ACTING ON.
- SNAPPING

COMPRESSION IS MANIFESTED ON TOP OF THE BRIDGE DECK
TENSION CAUSES THE LOWER PORTION OF THE BEAM TO LENGTHEN
DISSIPATION- FORCES ARE DISPERSED OR SPREAD OUT BY INCREASING THE HEIGHT OF THE BEAM.

ARCH BRIDGEARCH BRIDGE ONE OF THE OLDEST TYPES OF BRIDGES
WEIGHT OF THE ARCH BRIDGE IS CARRIED OUT WARD ALONG THE CURVE OF THE ARCH TO THE SUPPORTS, CALLED ABUTMENTS.
ABUTMENTS CARRY THE LOAD AND KEEP THE ENDS OF THE BRIDGE FROM SPREADING OUT.
![Page 9: BRIDGE BASICS THERE ARE THREE MAIN TYPES OF BRIDGES: 1. BEAM BRIDGE 2. ARCH BRIDGE 3. SUSPENSION BRIDGE THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE THREE IS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56649e6f5503460f94b6d1cd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
ARCH BRIDGES ARE ALWAYS UNDER COMPRESSION. THE FORCE OF COMPRESSION IS PUSHED OUTWARD ALONG THE CURVE OF THE ARCH TOWARDS THE ABUTMENTS.
TENSION IS NEGLIGIBLE. THE NATURAL CURVE OF THE ARCH DISSIPATES THE FORCE OUTWARD REDUCING THE TENSION ON THE UNDERSIDE.

SUSPENSION BRIDGESUSPENSION BRIDGE
CABLES (ROPES OR CHAINS) ARE STRUNG ACROSS AS THE DECK IS ATTACHED OR “SUSPENDED” FROM THESE CABLE.
TWO TALL TOWERS THROUGH WHICH THE CABLES ARE STRUNG.
TOWERS SUPPORT MAJORITY OF THE ROADWAYS WEIGHT.

CompressionThe force of compression pushes down on the suspension bridge's deck, but because it is a suspended roadway, the cables transfer the compression to the towers which dissipate the compression directly into the earth where they are firmly entrenched.

TensionThe supporting cables are literally stretched from the weight of the bridge and traffic as they run from anchorage to anchorage. The anchorages are also under tension, but since they, like the towers are held firmly to the earth, the tension they experience is dissipated.

AKASHI KAIKYO BRIDGE
(Longest Free Standing Bridge)
KOBE, JAPAN
LENGTH: 12,828
2 Km
1995 Kobe earthquake had its epicenter right between the two towers of the Akashi Straits Bridge. The original planned length was 1990 meters for the main span, but the seismic event moved the towers apart by almost a meter. Since construction of the deck had not yet begun, the changes were easily accommodated in the slightly altered final
design.

As new strong, lightweight synthetic materials become more common, ever more impressive bridges will be built. The current “next step” is to bridge the Straits of Gibraltar.
