there is five different types of bridges, beam bridges, cantilever, arch, suspension, cable stayed. The other bridge types are derived from these major

1. In beam (Stuttgart Cannstatt Eisenbahnviadukt) works in tension at the bottom of the structure and compression on the top, ie, supports a bending stress.



2.CANTILIVER (lago de Maracaibo Bridge), drive to work the top of the structure and compression on the bottom. Cable-stayed bridges (photo) is a derivation of this style.



3. Arch (the bridge Solkan slovenia), compression works most of the structure. Used since antiquity.



4. suspension (Golden Gate), drive to work most of the structure.



5. cable stayed, "Bridge of Love", Taiwan
