Definition of bridge

A bridge is a structure providing passage over an obstacle without closing the way beneath. The required passage may be for a road, a railway, pedestrians, a canal or a pipeline. The obstacle to be crossed may be a river, a road, railway or a valley.

Advantages Car Traffic  Pedestrian Double-decked  Train bridges Pipelines Viaducts Commercial bridges 

Disadvantages:

When the soils beneath a footing are not capable of supporting the weight Of the structure above the soil, bearing failure occurs. The foundation Shifts or sinks under the load, causing structure movement and damage
