List of featured suppliers of BRIDGE Beams on Building Products Index
A bridge is a structure that is built to span a physical obstacle, such as a river or a gorge, in order to provide passage for people, vehicles, or goods. The beams of a bridge are the horizontal members that support the weight of the bridge deck, which is the surface upon which traffic flows. These beams are typically made of steel or concrete and are designed to withstand the loads and forces that are placed upon them by the weight of the bridge and the vehicles that travel across it. The design and construction of bridge beams require careful consideration of factors such as the width of the span, the depth of the water or terrain beneath the bridge, and the expected traffic flow.
