Civil engineers need to not only consider the weight that each bridge must support but also the distance that it spans, what forces of nature it must endure, and how much time and money is available for the project.

What makes an arch bridge unique is not just that it comes with an arch structure but that the shape defines how the overall load is distributed. Instead of the weight being transferred downward, the curved shape conveys the weight sideways to supports at each end.<\/p><p>The arch bridge has been around for millennia. But the structure was most popular during the Roman Empire, and during this time a significant number of stone arch bridges were built. Some remain standing even to this day.<\/p><p>Arch bridges are now built using many different types of modern materials, but regardless of that, the foundation of weight distribution remains the same.
