This document summarizes and compares girder bridges and extradosed bridges. It first provides background on extradosed bridges, noting they are a hybrid of girder and cable-stayed bridges. The structural behavior of extradosed bridges differs from cable-stayed bridges. It then describes common girder bridge types like plate girder, box girder, I-beam, and T-beam bridges. The document reviews literature on bridge modeling and analysis, including a study comparing the response of extradosed and cable-stayed bridge decks. It concludes that extradosed bridges have lower towers, simpler cable anchoring, and lower construction costs than cable-stayed bridges, making them a competitive alternative when height
