Modern society is prosperous, and all aspects of development are very fast, and construction and transportation are changing with each passing day. Simple roads can no longer meet the needs of urban people, so countless beautiful overpasses have been added to the city streets. There are also many highway bridges, railway bridges and various long-distance sea-crossing bridges on the river.
We all know the function of bridges, shortening the traffic on both sides of the strait, shortening the distance and time of people's commuting, and facilitating the lives of people on both sides of the strait. Today, river-crossing bridges, sea-crossing bridges, overpasses, railway bridges, viaducts... all kinds of bridges are rising from the ground. The bridge has become an indispensable and important member of the city.
In fact, in the beginning, the purpose of people building bridges was to facilitate and reduce various costs. So what is the main structure of the bridge? It is generally divided into three parts, the upper structure, the lower structure and the foundation. The upper structure is the bridge body and the bridge deck, the lower structure is the bridge pier and the abutment, and the foundation includes many, including the cap, the caisson foundation, the sinking platform foundation and so on.
The bridge plays a role in connecting the two banks and carrying traffic in the city, and its strong appearance also has a profound impact on the urban landscape and becomes an important element in the city's image. It is the link between the city and nature, and highlights the beauty of technology and ecology. Every bridge, at the same time, is a beautiful landscape. The viaduct has now become an important traffic passage in the city, extending in all directions and densely distributed in the city. It is the first stop to welcome visitors from all walks of life and is an important business card for the city's image.
Three beautiful bridges are introduced below, let's take a look.
1. Malaysia, Srivasan Bridge. A veritable work of art, the unique and fascinating architecture of Srivasan Bridge is inspired by the sails of ships. Viewed from a 15-degree angle, this Malaysian-style tower looks like a stay cable angled 15 degrees.
2. Bixby Bridge, California, USA. The Bixby Bridge is undoubtedly the most magnificent man-made structure in California. Known as Big Sur's Golden Gate, the Bixby Bridge spans a 79-meter-tall canyon overlooking dizzying views of the Pacific Ocean.
3. France, Pont du Gard. The Pont du Gard embodies the creative genius of Rome in its splendor. At 49 meters high, the building is the tallest Roman aqueduct bridge in the world. It is also the only ancient three-level bridge that still stands today.
