• Type # 3. Steel Arch Bridges:
• Type # 4. Continuous or Cantilever Truss Bridges:
• Type # 5. Cable Stayed Bridges:

Which are especially suitable as urban highway bridges?

Reinforced concrete(RCC) Types Bridges: This type of bridge is well suited for the construction of highway bridges, flyovers, viaducts etc.

What type of bridges are efficient for long spans?

Cantilever bridges are rare, but they are called “long span bridges” by engineers because they can span significantly longer distances than girder or simple truss bridges.

Which type of bridge is better for a longer span?

In general, truss or suspension bridges are better for long spans between 50 and 100 feet, and beam bridges are best for shorter spans that are less than 50 feet.

Is used for single span of 3m or double span of 6m?

Box culvert is usually constructed of precast RCC slabs. Box culverts are mainly constructed where the soil is soft and the load has to be distributed over a wider foundation area. This type of culvert can be conventionally used for a single span of 3 m or for double span of 6 m.

Which of the following is low cost bridge?

Timber Bridge: Timber bridges are generally constructed on salbullah pile trestle as sub-structure and foundation and timber decking over timber beams or over RSJ as superstructure. The pile trestle is composed of a cluster of piles usually 200 mm.

What is RCC bridge?

A RCC bridge is a monolithic structure that is poured in place. Forms are placed, the reinforcing steel is placed into the forms and a concrete mix is poured into the forms. The rebar extends beyond the form to allow connection to the next section to be poured.
