Bridges

Spanning the Globe

Common types of bridges include beam bridges, arch bridges, suspension bridges, cantilever bridges, truss bridges, and cable-stayed bridges.
The Inca civilization

The Inca civilization in South America made use of rope bridges in the Andes Mountains before the Europeans colonized in the 1500’s. These rope bridges spanned canyons and gorges, allowing easy access to otherwise difficult to reach areas. While they were strong and reliable, repairing the bridges was a dangerous job that often ended in death.

The Oldest Standing Bridge

The Zhaozhou Bridge is the oldest standing bridge in China and the world’s oldest stone segmental arch bridge. Built in 605 AD, it is still standing strong today, over 1400 years later.
The Industrial Revolution

During the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century wrought iron was introduced into the design of large bridges. Wrought iron was later replaced by steel because it has a higher tensile strength.
