English

Subject field(s)
  • Tunnels, Overpasses and Bridges
CONT

A bridge with both simple beam spans and cantilevers would classify as a beam bridge, though composite in nature.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Tunnels, viaducs et ponts
CONT

Un pont qui comporte des travées à poutres simples et d'autres en cantilever doit être classé comme un pont à poutres, même s'il est composite.

OBS

Les poutres simples se composent d'une seule pièce, d'une section calculée pour résister aux efforts qui tendent à les faire fléchir. Quand ceux-ci deviennent trop importants, on fait appel aux poutres armées ou aux poutres composées.
