tied-arch bridges (arch bridges, <bridges by form>, ... Built Environment (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Arch bridges in which the outwardly directed horizontal forces are borne as tension by means of a cord tied to the arch ends, rather than by the ground or the bridge foundations. Because of the typically curved shape of the arches, it was also known as a bowstring arch. |
