AN OVERVIEW

• Undeniably, bridges are one of the most important
  components of a countrys infrastructure. Thus,
  its imperative to maintain them well. Bridges
  are the backbone of a nations economy. There are
  many countries that are known for its best
  transportation infrastructure.
• However, due to financial crisis, some countries
  failed in managing their infrastructure. Well,
  privatization is one of the best ways that can
  help countries solve infrastructure crisis. In
  fact, government of many countries is already
  using private bridge capital for solving
  infrastructure crisis. The investment depends on
  the type of bridge.

• Beam Bridges
• Truss Bridges
• Cantilever bridges
• Arch Bridges

Beam Bridges

• This is one of the simplest types of bridges. The
  best example of bream bridges is a basic log
  bridge.
• The deck area of this bridge comprises of stone
  slabs and wood plank. This bridge is supported by
  beams.

5
Truss Bridges

• This bridge is based on load-bearing structure.
  All truss bridges have triangular sections. These
  triangular elements absorb tension and
  compression to accommodate dynamic loads.
• Francis Scott Key Bridge is the biggest example
  of truss bridges. This bridge is located in
  Baltimore.

Cantilever bridges

• At the time of designing this bridge was seen as
  a major engineering breakthrough. Cantilever are
  used in the bridge to accommodate traffic.
• These are made from structural steel. Cantilever
  bridges are extremely safe and secure.

7
Arch Bridges

• Clearly, there are various types of arch bridges.
  However, all of them have central elements in
  common.
• Each Arch bridge has abutments. These are used to
  support the entire bridge structure. Arch bridges
  are simple but effective.
