Which of the following options shows the component of the Adjoining structure only?
Which of the following options shows the component of the Adjoining structure only? Correct Answer Approaches, Guard Stones, Bearings
Concepts:
In general, the entire bridge structure is divided into three components:
1. Sub-Structures
2. Super Structures
3. Adjoining Structures
1. Sub-Structures:
The structure of the bridge below the level of bearings is known as the Substructure. The function of the sub-structure is to support the superstructure components and transmit their loads safely to the subsoil.
It consists - of abutments, piers, and wing walls.
2. Super Structure:
The components of the bridge above the bearing are known as superstructures The function of the superstructure is to transmit the vehicular load to the sub-structure safely.
It consists – Beams and girders, Arch and cables, Parapet Wall and Handrail,
3. Adjoining Structures:
It consists – Bearings, approach roads constructed at the starting or ending of any bridge, and guard stones (used to restrict traffic on a particular lane)
