beam bridge span diagram beam bridge width diagram
  • Beam - Structurally, the simplest type of bridge
  • Relatively short span - 5m to 30m, although become more expensive after about 15m
  • Can be any width, and are easily widened by simply adding more beams and deck
  • Frequently used in pedestrian bridges and for highway overpasses and flyovers
  • Footpaths can be built on both sides
  • Can be built one or two beams at a time, often by direct craneage or by cantilever launch
  • Longer spans require supporting pillars, making them unsuitable if lots of space is required beneath
