2.  Verrazano-Narrows Bridge
Suspension/Cable-stayed - The deck
(trafficway) of a suspension bridge is
hung by cables which hang from
towers. The cables transfer the weight
to the towers, which transfer the
weight to the ground.
Cable-stayed bridges have towers, but
cables from the towers go directly to
the road deck, instead of spanning
from tower to tower.

3.  Golden gate bridge

5. It can span 2 kilometers to 7 kilometers
feet much more further than any other
bridge.

6. Beam - The beam type is
the simplest type of
bridge. The beam bridge
could be anything as
simple as a plank of wood
to a complex structure. It
is made of two or more
supports which hold up a
beam.

7. A beam bridge is made out of two
supports that hold up one beam….

8.  Lupu bridge - Shanghai
Arch - In the arch type of
bridge, weight is carried
outward along two paths,
curving toward the ground.

9.  The rainbow bridge, Niagra Falls

10.  Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney

11. An Arch bridge is made out of stone,
steel or concrete. They span up to 8
kilometer.

12.  Forth bridge, Scotland

13. Cantilever - In the cantilever
type of bridge, two beams
support another beam, which is
where the deck or trafficway is.
The two beams must be
anchored, and this must be
done well.

14. There are 2 to 3 support beams
depending on the wave tops they are
usually used where waters are deep.

15. A truss bridges is made of triangulation
mostly out of steel bars, they are frames
of a tunnel when looked at from the side
and front view.

16. A draw bridge is a bridge that opens at
the top to allow ships and boats to pass
under it as they are not high bridges..

17. Very similar to a suspension bridge but
instead of steel bars, it uses reinforced
Cables.

18. What is the longest bridge in the world? –
How much did it cost to build? – Why was it
built? – How much weight can it support? –
How long is it?
What is the longest bridge in Switzerland?
What is the shortest bridge in the world?
When was the first bridge built? – What is it
called?
