Ten Different Structures

Bridge having its roadway hung from large cables supported between tall towers.

A truss bridge is a bridge composed of connected elements (typically straight)

which may be stressed from tension, compression, or sometimes both in

response to dynamic loads

Bridge supported by an arch or a series of arches.

Not hollowed out: ex. solid block of wood

Structure with a solid outer surface (which may be rounded or flat in shape) and a hollow inner area . Ex. A Styrofoam cup

Structure supported mainly by a skeleton, or frame, of wood, steel, or reinforced concrete rather than by load-bearing walls.

Normally made from shallow steel 'I' beams, box girders, reinforced concrete, or post-tensioned concrete.
