Ribbed Arches – Stone Arch Bridges
The design most commonly associated with stone arch bridges is a solid arch as wide as the bridge. At least as early
The through arch bridge usually consists of two ribs, although there are examples like the of through arches with a single rib. When the two arches are built in planes, the structure is a parallel rib arch bridge. When the two arch ribs lean together and shorten the distance between the arches near the top, the span is a basket handle arch bridge.
