The stringers, cross girders and the main girders are the
main load carrying members. The design of various
elements is done in the sequence in which the load is
transmitted. In railway bridge, there will be either an open
timber floor or a ballasted floor.

Figure (1.4) shows the common types of simplespan bridge trusses. By varying the depth of a truss
throughout its length (Fig. 1.4c) forces in the chord
members can be more nearly equalized and the
forces in the web reduced. Trusses of economical
proportions usually result if the angle between
diagonals and verticals ranges from 45 to 60.
However, if long-span trusses are made deep
enough for adequate rigidity as well as for economy

D- Arch Bridges.
An arch is a structure which under vertical loads produces
inclined reactions at both supports.
We have 3-hinged, 2-hinged and fixed arches.
1-Three-hinged arches are statically determinate; hence,
horizontal displacement of the abutments does not produce
any additional stresses on the structural system.
2- Two-hinged arches and the fixed arches are statically
indeterminate; hence, displacement of the abutments
produces additional stresses in the structural system.
Furthermore, foundations of such arches should be on rock
or on very solid gravel.
e- Suspension Bridges.
Cables of suspension bridges are made from very high
tensile steel. The allowable deflection is about 10 cm.
The floor is hung by vertical suspenders from cables. These
cables are carried by vertical steel towers A-Q, B-V over
which it posses and are anchored at P and V.
A saddle top of each tower is provided to relieve the tower
from B.M. The reaction at top of tower is nearly vertical.
Stiffening, girders must be used to reduce the deflection
and vibration of the bridge due to the moving loads.
Suspension bridges are of good appearance but they are
economical only for long spans (> 300 m).
F- Cable stayed bridges
a- Deck Bridge.
In which the floor is or near the top chord or flange of the
main girders.
b- Through Bridge.
In which the floor is or near the bottom chord or flange of
the main girders. The distance (h) is called the height of
construction, it is the height between the top of rails or road
way and the lowest line of the bracing.
If there is a sufficient height of construction a deck bridge
should always be arranged as it is more economical stiffer,
and of better appearance than through bridge.
In a railway deck bridge the distance between the two main
girders can be made less than in a through bridge therefore
the weight of the cross-girder and wind bracing would be
less.In Roadway bridge, the reinforced concrete floor may
rest on several main girders.
