Give FeedbackBackground on Bridge Type
Bridges are based on one or more of three basic structures that are derived from forms found in nature: beam from a log fallen across a stream, the arch from natural rock formations, and suspension from vines.1 Underneath all concrete and steel that bridges are made of today, the same basic ideas still apply.
