How does the bridge type relate to the distance it can span?

The shape of the bridge and the structure helps bear all of the weight needed to hold on a bridge.

The type of bridge determines the distance it can span based on its structural design and support system. Suspension bridges can span longer distances due to their cable and tower support, while beam bridges have shorter maximum spans due to the reliance on the beam's strength and stiffness. ;

The type of bridge affects its span distance based on its structural design and how it distributes loads. Beam bridges span less distance than arch, suspension, or cable-stayed bridges due to their reliance on beam strength. Suspension bridges can cover the longest distances because of their cable support system that efficiently distributes weight and allows for flexibility.
