Australia Cross-Sea Bridge

Project Introduction

Bridges are a common feature of the built environment and one of the key elements of civil engineering. The basic principles of bridge design depend on the load-bearing structure; whether it is flat, convex or concave. These better known names are girder bridges, arch bridges or suspension bridges:

Girder bridges are simple beam or cantilever structures, usually constructed of steel trusses or prestressed concrete elements. Simply supported girder bridges are self-supporting horizontally and transmit loads vertically through piers or abutments. Cantilever bridges transfer loads through piers located in the center of the beam.
Arch bridges consist of load-bearing arches in compression, and their strength and stability allow them to withstand greater loads than girder bridges. Arches can support the bridge's horizontal deck from above or below.
