By Cael Wyatt

2. Cable Stay Bridges
• A cable-stayed bridge is a bridge
that consists of one or more
columns (normally referred to as
towers or pylons), with cables
supporting the bridge deck.
This bridge is in Abdoun Bridge, Amman,
Jordan

3. Arch Bridge
• An arch bridge is a bridge with
abutments at each end shaped as a
curved arch
• Arch bridges work by transferring
the weight of the bridge and its
loads partially into a horizontal
thrust restrained by the abutments
at either side.

4. Suspension Bridge
• A suspension bridge is a type of bridge
in which the deck (the load-bearing
portion) is hung below suspension
cables

5. Beam Bridge
• A beam bridge is a bridge
supported by large pillars
• Used mostly for short distances
because they have no built in
supports
• Made from Timber, iron, steel,
reinforced concrete, and
prestressed concrete
