Extradosed Bridge

An extradosed bridge combines elements of prestressed box girder bridges and cable-stayed bridges. The external prestressing tendons, called "stay cables," deviate upward from the deck but remain part of the main superstructure, defining its upper limit. This contrasts with a cable-stayed bridge where the cables are separate from the superstructure. A network arch bridge has inclined hangers that cross each other at least twice, allowing the structure to act like a truss experiencing only axial forces. This minimizes bending and shear stresses in the bridge. A truss bridge uses a load-bearing structure of connected elements, usually triangles, that are put in tension or compression from dynamic loads. Tr

Extradosed Bridge

An extradosed bridge employs a structure which combines the main


elements of both a prestressed box girder bridge and a cable-stayed
bridge.[1][2]:85[3] The name comes from the word extrados, the exterior or
upper curve of an arch, and refers to how the "stay cables" on an
extradosed bridge are not considered as such in the design, but are instead
treated as external prestressing tendons deviating upward from the deck. In
this concept they remain part of (and define the upper limit of) the main
bridge superstructure.

Network arch bridge
A Network Arch Bridge is a tied arch bridge with inclined hangers that cross each
other at least twice.
The inclined hangers with multiple intersections make the network arch bridge
act like a truss, with only axial compressible and tensile forces. Bending moments
and shear forces are very small in network arches.

Truss Bridge
A truss bridge is a bridge whose load-bearing superstructure is composed
of a truss, a structure of connected elements usually forming triangular
units. The connected elements (typically straight) may be stressed
from tension, compression, or sometimes both in response to dynamic
loads. Truss bridges are one of the oldest types of modern bridges. The
basic types of truss bridges shown in this article have simple designs which
could be easily analyzed by 19th and early 20th-century engineers. A truss
bridge is economical to construct because it uses materials efficiently.
