This PowerPoint presentation summarizes different types of bridge structures including beam, arch, suspension, truss, and different building structures such as frame, solid, shell, and their purposes. The document also provides examples of famous structures like the Eiffel Tower and Great Wall of China to illustrate frame and solid structures respectively.

2. Beam Bridge

3. Purpose of beam bridge
• The beam bridge is designed to be short or
long and can have peers in the middle
• This is a solid structure

4. Arch Bridge.

5. Purpose of arch bridge
• An arch is a structure that spans a space while
supporting weight
• This is a frame structure

6. Suspension Bridge.

7. Purpose of Suspension Bridge.
• A suspension bridge is a type of bridge in
which the deck (the load-bearing portion) is
hung below suspension cables on vertical
suspenders
• This is a frame structure

8. Truss Bridge

9. Purpose of Truss Bridge
• A truss bridge is a bridge composed of
connected elements (typically straight) which
may be stressed from
tension, compression, or sometimes both in
response to dynamic loads
• This is a frame structure

10. Frame structure

11. Purpose of frame structure
• Framing, in construction known as light frame
construction, is a building technique based
around structural members, usually called
studs, which provide a stable frame to which
interior and exterior wall coverings are
attached.

12. Solid structure

13. Purpose of Solid structure
• Is formed from a solid piece of some strong
material

14. Shell Structure

15. Purpose of Shell Structure
• Structure with a solid outer surface (which
may be rounded or flat in shape) and a hollow
inner area; for example a Styrofoam cup.

16. Eiffel Tower

17. Purpose of Eiffel Tower
• The Eiffel Tower is an iron tower built on the
Champs de Mars beside the Seine river in
Paris
• The tower has become a global icon of France
and is one of the most recognizable structures
in the world
• This is a frame structure

18. Great wall of china

19. Purpose of Great wall of china
• The Great wall of china is a series of stone and
earthen fortification in northern
China, built, rebuilt, and maintained between
the 5th century BC and the 16th century
• This is a solid structure

20. I-beams

21. Purpose of I-beams
• I-beams have less mass than solid beams
• The shape of an I-beam is very strong and
durable
• This is a solid structure
