Bridge Construction

Three Types of Bridge Construction Often Used

First, the Beam Bridge or grider bridge is the simplest bridge construction compared to other types. This bridge consists of road blocks extending horizontally and supported by stone blocks arranged vertically below. Secondly, the Truss Bridge is one of the more robust bridge constructions compared to the bridge beam due to the triangular (triangular) truss frame placed on the bridge and the truss frame function to transfer loads from one point to a much wider area so that the load does not rest only at just one point. Third, the Truss bridge is an arch bridge that has a curved design resembling an arc at the bottom of the road that is horizontal. This type of bridge construction requires a little building material when compared to a beam bridge.
