The Akashi-Kaikyō Bridge in Japan, world's longest span.

.A bridge is a structure built to span a valley, road, body of water, or other physical obstacle, for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle.^ The body is usually carved or routed to accept the other elements, such as the bridge, pickup, neck, and other electronic components.

Beam bridges

Main article: Beam bridge

Beam bridges are horizontal beams supported at each end by piers. The earliest beam bridges were simple logs that sat across streams and similar simple structures. In modern times, beam bridges are large box steel girder bridges. Weight on top of the beam pushes straight down on the piers at either end of the bridge.^[11] They are made up mostly of wood or metal. Beam bridges typically do not exceed 250 feet long. The longer the bridge, the weaker. The world's longest beam bridge is Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in southern Louisiana, U.S.A., at 23.83 miles (38.35 km), with individual spans of 56 feet (17 m).^[12]

Cantilever bridges

.Cantilever bridges are built using cantilevers—horizontal beams that are supported on only one end.^ However, there are only a few innerspring manufacturers and four general types: Bonnel coils These are the oldest ones and most commonly used.

Arch bridges

Stone arch bridge in Shaharah, Yemen

Arch bridges are arch-shaped and have abutments at each end. .The earliest known arch bridges were built by the Greeks and include the Arkadiko Bridge.^ It is also known that Arabs have built many of their own version of the Greek-Roman baths they encountered following their conquests of Alexandria.

Dubai in the United Arab Emirates is currently building the Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Crossing which is scheduled for completion in 2012. When completed, it will be the largest arch bridge in the world.^[14]

Suspension bridges

Suspension bridges are suspended from cables. The earliest suspension bridges were made of ropes or vines covered with pieces of bamboo. In modern bridges, the cables hang from towers that are attached to caissons or cofferdams. The caissons or cofferdams are implanted deep into the floor of a lake or river. The longest suspension bridge in the world is the 12,826 feet (3,909 m) Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in Japan.^[15] See simple suspension bridge, stressed ribbon bridge, underspanned suspension bridge, suspended-deck suspension bridge, and self-anchored suspension bridge.

Cable-stayed bridges

Like suspension bridges, cable-stayed bridges are held up by cables. However, in a cable-stayed bridge, less cable is required and the towers holding the cables are proportionately shorter. ^[16] The first known cable-stayed bridge was designed in 1784 by C.T. Loescher.^[17] The longest cable-stayed bridge is the Sutong Bridge over the Yangtze River in China.

Truss bridges

Continuous under-deck truss bridge

Over-deck truss bridge with steel girders and wooden carriageway

Truss bridges are composed of connected elements. They have a solid deck and a lattice of pin-jointed or gusset-joined girders for the sides. .Early truss bridges were made of wood, and later of wood with iron tensile rods, but modern truss bridges are made completely of metals such as wrought iron and steel or sometimes of reinforced concrete.^ Others were also made of woods such as coconut, ebony or other hardwoods, or of ivory, bone, horn or tortoiseshell.

By use

A bridge is designed for trains, pedestrian or road traffic, a pipeline or waterway for water transport or barge traffic. An aqueduct is a bridge that carries water, resembling a viaduct, which is a bridge that connects points of equal height. A road-rail bridge carries both road and rail traffic.

Bridges are subject to unplanned uses as well. .The areas underneath some bridges have become makeshift shelters and homes to homeless people, and the undersides of bridges all around the world are spots of prevalent graffiti.^ For instance, in Brazil alone, where almost a third of all the world's coffee is produced, over 5 million people are employed in the cultivation and harvesting of over 3 billion coffee plants.

Differences and similarities in bridge structure

A bridge taxonomy showing evolutionary relationships

Bridges may be classified by how the forces of tension, compression, bending, torsion and shear are distributed through their structure. .Most bridges will employ all of the principal forces to some degree, but only a few will predominate.^ I moved all images and categories of bikeways from this category to category of bikeways and some few images of other objects to appropriate categories.

The separation of forces may be quite clear. In a suspension or cable-stayed span, the elements in tension are distinct in shape and placement. In other cases the forces may be distributed among a large number of members, as in a truss, or not clearly discernible to a casual observer as in a box beam. Bridges can also be classified by their lineage, which is shown as the vertical axis on the diagram to the right.

Efficiency

A bridge's structural efficiency may be considered to be the ratio of load carried to bridge mass, given a specific set of material types. .In one common challenge students are divided into groups and given a quantity of wood sticks, a distance to span, and glue, and then asked to construct a bridge that will be tested to destruction by the progressive addition of load at the center of the span.^ Another popular type of sherbet dip is the 'Double Dipper' where the packet is divided into three or four sections; one contains an edible stick which can be licked and then dipped into the other sections, each of which contains a different flavour of sherbet (for example strawberry, orange, cola).

The bridge taking the greatest load is by this test the most structurally efficient. .A more refined measure for this exercise is to weigh the completed bridge rather than measure against a fixed quantity of materials provided and determine the multiple of this weight that the bridge can carry, a test that emphasizes economy of materials and efficient glue joints (see balsa wood bridge).^ Although I am not always completely satisfied with some of his naming conventions, at least he managed to bring a consistent naming in Italy, which is now more consistent than in most other countries.

A bridge's economic efficiency will be site and traffic dependent, the ratio of savings by having a bridge (instead of, for example, a ferry, or a longer road route) compared to its cost. .The lifetime cost is composed of materials, labor, machinery, engineering, cost of money, insurance, maintenance, refurbishment, and ultimately, demolition and associated disposal, recycling, and replacement, less the value of scrap and reuse of components.^ In many less developed countries, hand sorting is still done because of the low cost of labor.

Robert Stephenson's High Level Bridge across the River Tyne in Newcastle upon Tyne, completed in 1849, is an early example of a double-deck bridge. The upper level carries a railway, and the lower level is used for road traffic.

Another example is Craigavon Bridge in Derry, Northern Ireland. .The Oresund Bridge between Copenhagen and Malmö consists of a four-lane highway on the upper level and a pair of railway tracks at the lower level.^ There may be some mechanism for raising or lowering the bridge to adjust the distance between the strings and the fretboard (action), and/or fine-tuning the intonation of the instrument.

Other suspension bridge towers carry transmission antennas.

A bridge can carry overhead power lines as does the Storstrøm Bridge.

Costs and cost overruns in bridge construction have been studied by Flyvbjerg et al. (2003). The average cost overrun in building a bridge was found to be 34%.^[19]

In railway parlance, an overbridge is a bridge crossing over the course of the railway. In contrast, an underbridge allows passage under the line.

Movable bridges

Main article: Movable bridge

.Some bridges are not fixed crossings, but can move out of the way of boats or other kinds of traffic which, ideally, moves under them, but is sometimes too tall to fit.^ Some are springloaded and feature a "whammy bar", a removable arm which allows the player to modulate the pitch moving the bridge up and down.

.A game in all respects the same as bridge, except that in " no trumps " each trick counted ten instead of twelve, was played in England about 1884 under the name of Dutch whist.^ If there is a small country called EXAMPLE and that country has no transport-related pictures except 3 images in "Roads in EXAMPLE", with that category listed under "Transport in EXAMPLE", then we would not delete "Transport in EXAMPLE" as a category name either, just because at that moment, "Roads in EXAMPLE" would do.

Some connect it with Turkey and Egypt under the name of " Khedive," or with a Russian game called " Yeralash." It was in Turkey that it first won a share of popular favour. .Under the synonyms of " Biritch," " Bridge," or " Russian whist," it found its way to the London clubs about 1894, from which date its popularity rapidly increased.^ Really though, I think your point about the need for category synonyms is a huge one- I just don't think the cat structure is the right way to do it.

Ordinary Bridge

.Bridge, in its ordinary form, differs from whist in the following respects: - Although there are four players, yet in each hand the partner of the dealer takes no part in the play of that particular hand.^ Quotations The art of playing the lute formed a major part of instrumental music making in the Renaissance before keyboard instruments assumed central significance.

After the first lead his cards are placed on the table exposed, and are played by the dealer as at dummy whist; nevertheless the dealer's partner is interested in the result of the hand equally with the dealer. The trump suit is not determined by the last card dealt, but is selected by the dealer or his partner without consultation, the former having the first option. It is further open to them to play without a trump suit. The value of tricks and honours varies with the suit declared as trumps. Honours are reckoned differently from whist, and on a scale which is somewhat involved. The score for honours does not count towards winning or losing the rubber, but is added afterwards to the trick score in order to determine the value of the rubber. There are also scores for holding no trumps (" chicane "), and for winning all the tricks or all but one (" slam ") .

The score has to be kept on paper. .It is usual for the scoring block to have two vertical columns divided halfway by a horizontal line.^ There are many cases that some railway (line) was divided into two or more lines or that several railways (railway lines) was joined into one railway (which can have more branches).

The left column is for the scorers' side, and the right for the opponents'. Honours are scored above the horizontal line, and tricks below. The drawback to this arrangement is that, since the scores for each hand are not kept separately, it is generally impossible to trace an error in the score without going through the whole series of hands. .A better plan, it seems, is to have four columns ruled, the inner two being assigned to tricks, the outer ones to honours.^ Sometimes, "T-type" mosques would also be accompanied with more than one dome with the largest being at the intersection of the two segments of the "T".

By this method a line can be reserved for each hand, and any discrepancy in the scores at once rectified.

The Portland Club, London, drew up a code of laws in 1895, and this code, with a few amendments, was in July 1895 adopted by a joint committee of the Turf and Portland Clubs. A revised code came into force in January 1905, the provisions of which are here summarized.

Each trick above 6 counts 2 points in a spade declaration, 4 in a club, 6 in a diamond, 8 in a heart, 12 in a no-trump declaration. The game consists of 30 points made by tricks alone. .When one side has won two games the rubber is ended.^ At the far end of the complex, two grand red sandstone buildings open to the sides of the tomb.

The winners are entitled to add loo points to their score. Honours consist of ace, king, queen, knave, ten, in a suit declaration. If a player and his partner conjointly hold 3 (or " simple ") honours they score twice the value of a trick; if 4 honours, 4 times; if 5 honours, 5 times. .If a player in his own hand hold 4 honours he is entitled to score 4 honours in addition to the score for conjoint honours; thus, if one player hold 4 honours and his partner the other their total score is 9 by honours.^ It should be designed to minimize the transfer of movement from one sleeping partner to the other.

Similarly if a player hold 5 honours in his own hand he is entitled to score 10 by honours. If in a no-trump hand the partners conjointly hold 3 aces, they score 30 for honours; if 4 aces, 40 for honours. 4 aces in 1 hand count loo. .On the same footing as the score for honours are the following: chicane, if a player hold no trump, in amount equal to simple honours; grand slam, if one side win all the tricks, 40 points; little slam, if they win 12 tricks, 20 points.^ It is not right for one side to win by default.

At the opening of play, partners are arranged and the cards are shuffled, cut and dealt (the last card not being turned) as at whist; but the dealer cannot lose the deal by misdealing. After the deal is completed, the dealer makes the trump or notrump (sans atout) declaration, or passes the choice to his partner without remark. .If the dealer's partner make the declaration out of his turn, the adversary on the dealer's left may, without consultation, claim a fresh deal.^ This is important because when one person tosses and turns, it may not completely wake the other person, but, it can take them out of a deep sleep which is when the body does all of its regeneration.

If an adversary make a declaration, the dealer may claim a fresh deal or disregard the declaration. Then after the declaration, either adversary may double, the leader having first option. The effect of doubling is that each trick is worth twice as many points as before; but the scores for honours, chicane and slam are unaltered. If a declaration is doubled, the dealer and his partner have the right of redoubling, thus making each trick worth four times as much as at first. The declarer has the first option. The other side 529 can again redouble, and so on; but the value of a trick is limited to zoo points. .In the play of the hand the laws are nearly the same as the laws of whist, except that the dealer may expose his cards and lead out of turn without penalty; after the second hand has played, however, he can only correct this lead out of turn with the permission of the adversaries.^ This is important because when one person tosses and turns, it may not completely wake the other person, but, it can take them out of a deep sleep which is when the body does all of its regeneration.

Advice to Players

.In the choice of a suit two objects are to be aimed at: first, to select the suit in which the combined forces have the best chance of making tricks; secondly, to select the trump so that the value of the suit agrees with the character of the hand, i.e. a suit of high value when the hands are strong and of low value when very weak.^ They are also valued for crime prevention; being very dense, viciously spiny shrubs, they make very effective barriers impenetrable to burglars.

Declarations by Dealer

In calculating the strength of a hand a knave is worth two tens, a queen is worth two knaves, a king is worth a queen and knave together, and an ace is worth a king and queen together. .A king unguarded is worth less than a queen guarded; a queen is not fully guarded unless accompanied by three more cards; if guarded by one small card it is worth a knave guarded..^ File:OeBB-RBe2-4.jpg an electric railcar, hardly able to pull more than one trailer, originally delvered without coupling.

Under the heart convention it is not necessary to have such great strength; with a strong suit of six hearts and good cards of re-entry, enough tricks will be saved to compensate for the doubled value. A player should ascertain the convention followed before beginning to play.

Before doubling a suit declaration a player should feel almost certain that he is as strong as the declarer. .The minimum strength to justify the declaration is generally five trumps, but it may have been made on six.^ Suggestions may also be made as to how, in general, disparaging files relating to living individuals should be categorized.

If, then, a player holds six trumps with an average hand as regards the rank of his cards, or five trumps with a hand of no-trump strength, it is highly probable that he is as strong as the declarer. .It must be further taken into account that the act of doubling gives much valuable information to the dealer, who would otherwise play with the expectation of finding the trumps evenly distributed; this is counterbalanced when the doubler is on the left of the declaring hand by the intimation given to his partner to lead trumps through the strong hand.^ In Sufi tariqah (orders), it is an honorific for an elder sufi who has been authorized by the order to teach, initiate Dervishes (monks) and otherwise lead a sufi circle in a Dargah (monastery).

When a spade declaration has been made by dummy, one trump less is necessary and the doubler need not be on the declarer's left. A spade declaration by the dealer can be doubled with even less strength. .A declaration can be rather more freely doubled when a single trick undoubted will take the dealer out, but even in this position the player must be cautious of informing the dealer that there is a strong hand against him.^ Most railway stations, however, consist of one main building (even where the station has accessory and out buildings, there is usually one main terminal building).

A suit of three small cards of no great strength should not be opened. In cases of doubt preference should be given to hearts and to a less extent to diamonds.

To lead up to dummy's weak suits is a valuable rule. The converse, to lead through strength, must be used with caution, and does not apply to no-trump declarations. It is not advisable to adopt any of the recent whist methods of giving information. It is clear that, if the adversaries signal, the dealer's hand alone is a secret, and he, in addition to his natural advantage, has the further advantage of better information than either of the adversaries. .The following signals are, however, used, and are of great trickmaking value: playing an unnecessarily high card, whether to one's partner's suit or in discarding in a no-trump declaration, indicates strength in the suit; in a suit declaration a similar method of play indicates two only of the suit and a desire to ruff, - it is best used in the case of a king led by one's partner.^ The diminutive question, whether is to be in the category "bikeways" one element in addition or isn't to be, means no "chaos".

At the beginning of the hand the chances are so great against any particular result, that at the score of love-all the advantage of getting to any particular score has no appreciable effect in determining the choice of suit. In the play of the hand, the advantage of getting to certain points should be borne in mind. .The principal points to be aimed at are 6, 18, and, in a less degree, 22.

.When the player on dummy's right deals, dummy's partner may look at dummy's hand to decide if he will double, but he may not look at his own till a card has been led by dummy.^ The explanation above is given from the perspective of the more common right-handed player.

.In another form of dummy bridge two hands are exposed whenever dummy's adversaries deal, but the game is unsuited for many players, as in every other hand the game is one of double-dummy.^ I just think that other factors mitigate the practice of lifting techniques that are standard practice from one problem domain and applying them to another.

Misery Bridge

This is a form of bridge adapted for two players. The non-dealer has the dummy, whilst the dealer is allowed to strengthen his hand by discarding four or fewer cards and taking an equal number from the fourth packet dealt; the rest of the cards in that packet are unused and remain unseen. .A novel and interesting addition to the game is that the three of clubs (called " Cato ") does not rank as a club but can be played to any trick and win it.^ In the Traveller role playing game, a planetary system near Vega is inhabited by aliens called Vegans.

.The dealer, in addition to his other calls, may declare " misery " when he has to make less than two tricks.^ For example, given two different recipes for making potato salad, one may have peel the potato before boil the potato while the other presents the steps in the reverse order, yet they both call for these steps to be repeated for all potatoes and end when the potato salad is ready to be eaten.

Drawor Two-handed Bridge

This is the best form of bridge for two players. .Each player has a dummy, which is placed opposite to him; but the cards are so arranged that they cannot be seen by his opponent, a special stand being required for the purpose.^ The leaves are spirally arranged; they are usually pinnately compound, though some species have trifoliate or simple leaves.

The dealer makes the declaration or passes it to his dummy to make by the same rules as in three-handed or dummy bridge. The objection to this is that, since the opponent does not see the dealer's dummy, he has no chance of checking an erroneous declaration. This could be avoided by not allowing the dealer the option of passing.

Auction Bridge

.This variety of the game for four players, which adds an element characteristic of poker, appears to have been suggested about 1904, but was really introduced at the Bath Club, London, in 1907, and then was gradually taken up by a wider circle.^ Had we taken your approach, anyone could introduce any change anywhere, and claim there is no consensus about reverting it.

The laws were settled in August 1908 by a joint committee of the Bath and Portland clubs. .The scoring (except as below), value of suits, and play are as at ordinary bridge, but the variety consists in the method of declaration, the declaration not being confined in auction bridge to the dealer or his partner, and the deal being a disadvantage rather than otherwise.^ They also face the problem of transfer pricing where a company declares a value for goods being traded which differs from the market price, aimed at reducing overall taxes due.

.The dealer, having examined his hand, must declare to win at least one " odd " trick, and then each player in turn, beginning with the one on the dealer's left, has the right to pass the previous declaration, or double, or redouble, or overcall by making a declaration of higher value, any number of times till all are satisfied, the actual play of the combined hands (or what in ordinary bridge would be dealer and dummy) resting eventually with the partners making the final declaration; the partner who made the first call (however small) in the suit finally constituting the trump (or no-trump) plays the hands, the other being dummy.^ The larger drum, played with the other hand, is called bāyā??

A declaration of a greater number of tricks in a suit of lower value, which equals a previous call in value of points (e.g. two in spades as against one in clubs) is ." of higher value "; but doubling and redoubling only affect the score and not the declaration, so that a call of two diamonds overcalls one no-trump even though this has been doubled.^ These changes were not universally accepted; some of his splits have been rejected and for the most part 21 species is the number accepted by the IUCN and many others (though by no means not all?two authors have called for the number of species to be returned to 14).

The scoring in auction bridge has the additional element that when the eventual player of the two hands wins what was ultimately declared or more, his side score the full value below the line (as tricks), but if he fails the opponents score 50 points above the line (as honours) for each under-trick (i.e. trick short of the declaration), or loo or 200 if doubled or redoubled, nothing being scored by either side below the line; the loss on a declaration of one spade is limited, however, to a maximum of loo points. A player whose declaration has been doubled and who fulfils his contract, scores a bonus of 50 points above the line and a further 50 points for each additional trick beyond his declaration; if there was a redouble and he wins, he scores double the bonus. .The penalty for a revoke (unaffected by a double) is (I) in the case of the declarer, that his adversaries add 150 above the line; (2) in the case of one of his adversaries, that the declarer may either add 150 points above the line or may take three tricks from his opponents and add them to his own; in the latter case such tricks may assist him to fulfil his contract, but shall not entitle him to any bonus for a double or redouble.^ There are many cases that some railway (line) was divided into two or more lines or that several railways (railway lines) was joined into one railway (which can have more branches).

It by no means follows that the winner of the rubber is the winner by points, and many players prefer to go for points (i.e. above the line) extorted from their opponents rather than for fulfilling a declaration made by themselves.

Bridges

Bridges also have uses in the military. Military bridges have to be portable, so that they may be easily moved to the front lines, and so they are much more complex than regular civilian bridges.

Types of bridges

There are five major structural types of bridges:

beam bridges^[1]
cantilever bridges,
arch bridges^[2]
suspension bridges and
cable-stayed bridges^[3]
