Fixed And Floating Bridge

Fixed and Floating Bridges are types of bridges that are used to provide a passage over bodies of water, such as rivers, lakes, or canals. They are part of the supply class "Bridges, Fixed And Floating" in the supply group "Prefabricated Structures And Scaffolding".

Fixed bridges are permanent structures that are built on solid foundations, such as concrete piers or abutments. They are designed to withstand the weight of vehicles and pedestrians and provide a stable and reliable crossing. Fixed bridges are commonly made of materials like steel, concrete, or a combination of both.

Floating bridges, on the other hand, are temporary structures that are designed to be deployed and removed as needed. They are typically used in situations where a permanent bridge is not feasible or practical, such as in military operations or during construction projects. Floating bridges are usually made of modular pontoons or floating platforms that can be assembled and disassembled quickly.

Both fixed and floating bridges play a crucial role in providing transportation infrastructure and facilitating the movement of people and goods. They are designed to be safe, durable, and capable of withstanding various environmental conditions.
