Bridge
Bridges provide passage over obstacles without blocking the way below. They carry traffic and loads over channels, roads, or railways. Bridges are classified based on their function, materials, form, position, construction method, and more. Common types include girder, truss, arch, cable-stayed, and suspension bridges, which vary in their typical spans and forces. Joints are often included to allow for movement from temperature changes and material shrinkage/expansion without compromising the bridge's integrity.
suspension bridge ppt
Suspension bridges have evolved over time through various innovations:
1) Early bridges used ropes and chains that were later replaced by stronger steel cables
2) Advances allowed building foundations underwater and constructing taller towers for longer spans
3) Later bridges had to withstand forces like wind and earthquakes, leading to designs that added stiffness and flexibility
4) Modern construction involves building tower foundations, spinning main cables between anchorages, attaching vertical cables to the deck, and lifting deck sections into place section-by-section.

St paul's london
St Paul's Cathedral in London is one of the most famous and recognizable landmarks in the city. Sir Christopher Wren designed St Paul's in the Baroque style after the Great Fire of London destroyed the previous cathedral. At 365 feet tall with its iconic dome, St Paul's was the tallest building in London from 1710 to 1962. Some key features include the Whispering Gallery that runs around the base of the dome, the Corinthian columns, and the two towers that rise up 221 feet at the western end.
Bridges Functionality and Aesthetics
A bridge is the key element in a transportation system; it controls both the volume and weight of the traffic. Balance must be achieved between handling future traffic volume and loads and the cost of heavier and wider bridge structure. Economic Analysis and comparisons against competing alternatives is required as Bridges are the most expensive part of a road transportation network. Monetized & Non-Monetized Benefits that will accrue like time savings to road users, benefits to business activities (and to the economy in general) and salvage value benefits like Right-of-Way and substructure use need to be assessed as well.

The Sheikh Zayed Bridge in Abu Dhabi is an 842 meter long highway bridge designed by Zaha Hadid Architects. It consists of 11 deck spans supported by steel arches and pre-stressed concrete piers. The asymmetric steel arches rise up to 60 meters above the water and support the concrete box girder decks. The central 234 meter long span is supported by a large central pier made of over 5 meters of concrete. It uses a hybrid structure of steel arches and pre-stressed concrete to support the roadway across the wide channel in a continuous and seismic isolated structure.

Saloni choudhary 0838_zaragoza bridge pavillion
The Zaragoza Bridge Pavilion is composed of four interconnected truss structures, or "pods", that serve as both structural elements and interior exhibition spaces. The pods are stacked and intersect in a way that distributes structural loads across all four, rather than relying on a single main element. This interlocking design creates complex interior spaces where visitors move between pods through small connecting areas. The exterior has a skin of overlapping shingles inspired by shark scales that allows natural light and views to penetrate the building.

Rishi parmar salginatobel bridge
The Salginatobel Bridge in Switzerland is a 135m long, three-hinged arch bridge built from steel and concrete between 1929-1930. The arch span is 90m high and rises 13.5m, while the deck rises 3.97m from one end to the other at a 3% gradient. A three-hinged arch design was chosen to allow for flexibility of movement in the mountain and reduce stresses from temperature changes, preventing cracking or failure that a fixed arch could experience.
Priyam sundial bridge
The Sundial Bridge is a 128m long pedestrian cable-stayed bridge that crosses the Sacramento River in California. It has an asymmetrical design with steel cables connected to a reinforced concrete pylon that is inclined at a 42 degree angle to balance the forces from the bridge deck. The unique design of the inclined pylon and lack of backstays provides an architecturally dramatic structure.
Paper bridge
The document describes an arched bridge built in Paris using cardboard rolls. The bridge weighs 7.5 tonnes and is made from 281 cardboard tubes joint together with steel connectors. The foundation of the bridge consists of wooden boxes packed with sand and rocks, and the steps are made from recycled paper and plastic.
Oslo bridge pranali
The Oslo Leonardo Bridge in Norway is a 109.2 meter long footbridge constructed in 2001 with a main span of 40 meters. It has one vertical arch and two tilted arches made of glulam timber that are fixed at the abutments and interconnected at the apex, and its deck consists of 120 cubic meters of glulam timber stress laminated together.
Orleans bridge maitri
The document summarizes Santiago Calatrava's inclined arch bridge over the River Loire in Orleans, France. The central arch is inclined inward at 68 degrees and supported by two concrete tripods with three inclined branches each. The tripods represent a hand extending the arch. The 200m main span and 470m total length bridge has an asymmetrical, curved deck resembling a ship's hull with the arch as a mast. Cables in a reversed V-form suspend the bridge to stabilize the arch and distribute force from its inclination.
