Superstructure
The structural components above the level of bearing
are classed as superstructure. Superstructure provides
base for moving vehicles, trains and pedestrians.
Wearing surface
The wearing surface is that portion of deck,
which resists traffic wear. In most instances this
is a separate layer made of bituminous material.
Deck
Deck
The deck is the physical extension of the
roadway across the obstruction to be bridged. In
most instances this is a Reinforced Concrete
Slab.
Primary members
Primary members are those, which distribute
bridge loads longitudinally. Primary members
consists of beam, truss, arch or frame.
Secondary members
Secondary members are bracing between
primary members help to distribute loads
transversely

Bearing
The mechanical device
placed
between
superstructure
and
substructure to transmit
vertical and horizontal
load to substructure,
allowing
some
translational

Abutment
These are first and last supports of a bridge and they retain earth
