In conclusion building bridges with extra compression members that are placed in the correct places could help the bridge in its weight bearing capacity.
These compression members may help in reducing the possible failure of the bridge but in real life the extra members will cost more to produce.
Although Truss bridges seem to be the best decision for a real life application, its vertical members can cause a distraction to any driver when going through the truss configurations.
A real life application of any bridge but first be decided on the surroundings of when it is to be placed. If the distance from A to B is vast and at a significant height then it might be best to choose a expansion arch bridge. As for shorter distances, girders or rigid frames might make a better decision.
