[Column] Structure of Bridges: Explanation of the Names and Roles of Each Component, and Types of Bridges
Explaining the structure of bridges and the names and roles of each component! Introducing types of bridges categorized by structure and materials.
A bridge is a structure built over rivers, valleys, seas, and roads, designed to provide a transportation route across to the opposite bank. Bridges have a long history of development alongside humanity, and today there are various types. Additionally, the characteristics of these bridges differ based on their structures, so construction must be tailored to the environment in which the bridge is installed. This article explains the structures and types of bridges. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links. Feel free to contact us for further inquiries.*

Company information
CRETEC, a company under Crittec Industries, was born from the combination of Create (creation) and Technology. As a comprehensive manufacturer of bridge expansion devices, we continue to develop expansion devices that contribute to the longevity of bridges and environmental protection. Moreover, we do not stop at product manufacturing; by consistently handling everything from research, design, manufacturing, sales, to construction in-house, we can manufacture and install expansion devices that meet the requests of our clients and general contractors, as well as the conditions and environments of the bridges and roads on-site. We also take into account the issues that arise during the installation of expansion devices and the damage conditions of existing devices that are removed, using this information to improve and develop our products. Please feel free to contact us for inquiries about bridge expansion devices, requests for materials, or estimates. ◆ What is a bridge expansion device? It is a component installed in the gap between the bridge abutment and the bridge girder, or between bridge girders. When designing a bridge, it is necessary to create a gap to prevent the bridge girders from colliding due to expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes. The bridge expansion device is required to cover this gap and ensure safe passage for vehicles and pedestrians.
