ARCH BRIDGE
Arch bridges are arch-shaped and have abutments at
each end.
An arch bridge doesn't need additional supports or
cables. In fact it’s the shape of the structure that gives
it its strength.
Arch bridges are designed to be constantly under
compression.
The weight of the bridge is thrust into the abutments
at either side.
Usually they are made for short span range but often
set end-to-end to form a large total length.
BEAM BRIDGE
Beam bridges are the simplest kind of bridge today.
Bridges consist of one horizontal beam with 2
supports usually on either ends.
It is frequently used in pedestrian bridges and for
highway overpasses & flyovers.
They are constructed for short span requirements.
The weight of the bridge and any traffic on it is
directly supported by the piers.
The top side of the deck is under compression while
the bottom side of the deck is under tension.
To increase the bridge’s strength designers introduce
truss to the bridge’s beam.
CABLE-STAYED BRIDGE
A bridge that consists of one or more pylons with cables.
There are two major classes of cable-stayed bridges such as
a harp design & a fan design.

CONCLUSION
These are the pinnacles in modern days bridge
technology.
Longer spans of up to 2000 ft-7000 ft is possible.
They are ideal for covering busy waterways such as
Gulf, Strait, Lake, etc.
These bridges are mainly meant for light & heavy
roadways rather than railways.
The main forces in a suspension bridge are tension in
the main cables and compression in the pillars.
