Overview of Bridges and Concrete

A bridge is a structure built to span obstacles like bodies of water or valleys to allow passage over them. Bridge designs vary based on their function, the terrain where they are built, the materials used, and available funds. Concrete is a composite material made primarily of aggregate like gravel or crushed rock, cement, and water. It comes in various formulations with different properties, and the cement acts as a binder for the aggregate.

Bridge

A bridge is a structure built to span physical obstacles such as a body of water, valley, or road, for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle. Designs of bridges vary depending on the function of the bridge, the nature of the terrain where the bridge is constructed, the material used to make it and the funds available to build it.

Concrete
Concrete is a composite construction material composed primarily of aggregate, cement and water. There are many formulations that have varied properties. The aggregate is generally a coarse gravel or crushed rocks such as limestone, or granite, along with a fine aggregate such as sand. The cement, commonly Portland cement, and other cementitious materials such as fly ash and slag cement, serve as a binder for the aggregate.
