Lecture 2.6 Bridges

This document discusses different types of bridges including arch, beam, truss, cable-stayed, and suspension bridges. It provides examples of the longest bridges of each type, including the 552m Chaotianmen Arch Bridge in China, the 400m Ikitsuki Truss Bridge in Japan, the 2680m Jiaxing-Shaoxing Cable-Stayed Bridge in China, and the 3,911m Akashi-Kaikyo Suspension Bridge in Japan. Bridges are designed to carry axial, shearing, twisting, and bending loads to allow passage over physical obstacles.
