[1] No moments are transferred throughout the support, hence their structural type is known as simply supported. The simplest beam bridge could be a log (see log bridge), a wood plank, or a stone slab (see clapper bridge) laid

The house was to be 1600 square feet and featured radiant heating through hot water pipes installed under the floor slab. [10] Like other Wright Usonian home designs, the house also relied on passive solar energy. [11] The Smiths collaborated with Wright ...
Using fallen trees, stringer bridges can be built. Wood laminated by stress, glued, dowels, or nails lumber are good for panel bridges. New lumber and wood scavenged from buildings and railroad ties can be used to build stringer bridges. [3] A licensed engineer can help operators design a safe, appropriate timber bridge.
A trestle bridge is a bridge composed of a number of short spans supported by closely spaced frames. A trestle (sometimes tressel) is a rigid frame used as a support, historically a tripod used to support a stool or a pair of isosceles triangles joined at their apices by a plank or beam such as the support structure for a trestle table .
