The type of bridges are: -truss bridge -arch bridge (truss arch bridge) -suspension bridge (suspension truss bridge) -cantilever bridge
Why was the triangulated truss design used in the United States?
In the United States, a premium was placed on inexpensive design, which led to the predominance of the simple triangulated truss design (first used with wooden bridges and later for iron bridges).
Why are truss bridges used less today?
They arent used as much because we have new kinds of bridges that may be more efficient and that are stronger
What is the suspension bridge made out of?
Truss Bridges=Trusses have been used extensively in bridges since the early 19th Century. Early truss bridges were made of wood.==in additon the classic American covered bridges are all trusses, though the wooden truss members are covered by walls and a roof, for protection from the elements. Later truss bridges were made of cast iron and wrought iron. Most modern trusses are made of structural steel.=
Who invented the truss bridge?
Caleb and Thomas Pratt invented the truss bridge in 1844. Some of the materials that have been used in truss bridges are timber, steel, reinforced concrete, and iron.
What is the size of the truss bridge?
A truss bridges are designed using materials that are connected in a manner to be stressed under tension and/or compression. I truss system can be designed to be as long as necessary. Columns are also used in truss desins to reduce deflections.
What geometric shapes are used in building bridges?
Hyperbolic cosines, parabolas, semicircles, triangles are some shapes.
What is Truss and its Applications in Mechanical Engineering?
A truss is a framework consisting of beams, girders, or rods which lie in a single plane. It is used in large spans and heavy loads, providing a support for bridges and roofs.

What kind of material is used to balst buildings or bridges to get them clean?
Granite
Which bridge is stronger a spanning bridge a arch bridge or a truss bridge?
Trusses are basic to extended loads and are common in heavy-duty applications such as railroad bridges, including Movable, heavy duty cranes- the famous Arrol Hammerheads of which several survive ( one having been built in l907!_ has a Warren truss structure- all panels triangular. truss bridges" structure also form the basis of the most massive of crane, the Ore Bridges used in mammoth industrial works in the US, Europe and the USSR ( Big Cranes in the Ukraine!0 and these are all based on the Truss system- almost crosses between cranes and bridges- and as massive as many common spans- a 400 foot crane bridge is certainly feasible- there were plans for far longer ones! dig we must- drop that clamshell bucket, comrade engineer.
Why is a warren truss bridge used?
A Warren Truss Bridge is used to cross certain obstacles. The Warren Truss bridge is Constructed with equilateral triangles so, this relieves of Compression and Tension.
