Para12. Because of this difference in shape, the suspension cable tends to pull its anchorages together, while the arch tends to push its abutments apart. 因为形式的不同，悬索趋向于将它的锚固点拉到一起，而拱则趋向于将它的桥台向两边推开。 Lesson 7 Bridge Para13. For this reason suspension cables must be able to withstand stretching, while arches must be made of materials that can withstand compression. 因为这个原因，悬索必须能承担拉力，而拱必须用能承担压力的材料制造。 Because tensile strength is not necessarily required for arch construction, arch bridges can be made of bricks or stone blocks that are held together by the compressive force characteristic of the arch. 因为拱结构不必要求材料具有抗拉强度，所以拱桥可以用砖或石块建造，砖或石块通过拱传递压力的特性结合在一起。 Lesson 7 Bridge Para13. Such materials are useless for the other basic bridge structures. 这些材料对于其它的基本桥梁结构是没有用的。 In an arch bridge, the loads are transmitted vertically down from the roadway until they intersect the arch form. 在拱桥中，荷载从桥面上垂直地传递下来直到它们和拱相交。 Lesson 7 Bridge Para13. At the arch boundary the loads are redirected along the path of the arch, which is in a state of simple compression. 在拱的边缘，荷载被沿着拱的路径改变了方向，变成了简单的受压状态。 The compressive thrust forces are then transmitted to the ground through the abutments or piers. 然后这个挤压推力就通过桥台或桥墩传递到地下。 Lesson 7 Bridge Para13. The arch, with its simple and elegant structures, has become a classic bridge configuration. 具有简单又美观的结构的拱已经成了一种经典的桥梁构造形式。 Lesson 7 Bridge Lesson 7 Bridge 桥梁 Para1. Bridge is a structure that spans obstacles, such as rivers and valleys, to provide a roadway for traffic. 桥梁是跨越诸如河流和峡谷等障碍的结构物，为通行提供道路 By far the majority of bridges are designed to carry automobile or railroad traffic, but some are intended for pedestrians only. 到目前为止，大多数桥梁是设计用作承担汽车和铁道交通，但是也有些桥梁仅供行人通行。 Lesson 7 Bridge Para1. A number of aqueduct bridges, mostly erected in Europe in the 19
