Thanks for very insight full content. Bridges are a system of function cost and looks. With so many options of designs, its come to reason that creativity gives us diffrent looks for bridges.
The different designs are chosen to withstand the moving mass ( both 1. instantaneous at a point and 2. the overall/total mass on the whole bridge) over it.
Very few people would be happy to see the same bridge design next to one another it would probably have a terrible social effect of depression for those who live in or frequently visited the area. Now I will say engineers love to be humble but want to be noticed by their peers, so we push the envelope of the materials' strengths being used. Also, we like or want to design something unique and well, cool. Just a thought, probably wrong.
The truss does not support the roadway at the top, like a suspension bridge, and does not support the roadway at the bottom, like an arch bridge; rather, it makes the roadway more rigid and durable, helping it to withstand the various loads it encounters.

Yes, you are right!

brilliant!
Come back more often! ))

What is the difference between bridge and trusses
