Bridge Types - TSV

Bridge types are classified by structural form into beam/girder bridges, truss bridges, arch bridges, rigid frame bridges, cable-stayed bridges, and suspension bridges. Each structure differs in mechanical characteristics, applicable span length, construction cost, and aesthetics, with the optimal type selected based on construction conditions and purpose. Beam bridges are the most basic and used in approximately 80% of bridges, while suspension and cable-stayed bridges are suitable for long-span bridges.

01	beam-girder-bridge	Beam/Girder Bridge	The most basic bridge structure with girders spanning across piers and abutments.	10-200m	Bending and Shear Resistance
02	truss-bridge	Truss Bridge	A bridge using truss structure composed of triangular combinations.	40-500m	Axial Force Resistance (Tension/Compression)
03	arch-bridge	Arch Bridge	A bridge structure supporting loads through curved arch members.	40-250m	Compression Resistance
04	rigid-frame-bridge	Rigid Frame Bridge	A bridge with integrated girders and piers.	Medium span	Bending and Shear Resistance
05	cable-stayed-bridge	Cable-Stayed Bridge	A bridge structure with cables extending diagonally from towers to directly support the deck.	200-800m	Axial Force Resistance (Tension)
06	suspension-bridge	Suspension Bridge	A bridge structure suspending the deck from main cables and hanger cables.	300m to over 2000m	Axial Force Resistance (Tension)
