what are the different types of bridges?
388068
Types of Bridges. The five bridge types are arch, beam, beam, cable-stayed, suspension, and truss. Other variations include cantilever and moveable bridges.

Some of the main typical materials that are found on a bridge are steel, concrete, stone and asphalt. Other materials include iron, timber, aluminum, rubber and other joint materials.

[top]Forms of construction. Steel is a most versatile and effective material for bridge construction, able to carry loads in tension, compression and shear. Structural steelwork is used in the superstructures of bridges from the smallest to the greatest.

The strongest bridge in the world has to be strong but not only that has to have the length and width to hold tons of loads. Golden gate bridge (San Francisco, California): The Golden Gate is a suspension bridge spanning the golden gate, the 1.6 km bridge connecting San Francisco bay and the pacific ocean.

Suspension bridges in their simplest form were originally made from rope and wood. Modern suspension bridges use a box section roadway supported by high tensile strength cables. ... A suspension bridge suspends the roadway from huge main cables, which extend from one end of the bridge to the other.

The simplest beam bridge could be a log (see log bridge), a wood plank, or a stone slab (see clapper bridge) laid across a stream. Bridges designed for modern infrastructure will usually be constructed of steel or reinforced concrete, or a combination of both.

Technically the only difference is the span length. Culverts are upto 6 m length whereas Bridges are longer than 6 m. Again, Bridges are classified as Minor Bridges if the span ranges from over 6 m up to 60 m and as Major Bridges if the are longer than 60 m.

San Diego–Coronado Bridge. The San Diego–Coronado Bridge, locally referred to as the Coronado Bridge, is a prestressed concrete/steel girder bridge, crossing over San Diego Bay in the United States, linking San Diego with Coronado, California. The bridge is signed as part of State Route 75.
