A truss arch bridge combines elements of a truss and an arch. The actual resolution of stresses will depend upon the design. If no horizontal thrusting forces are generated this becomes an arch shaped truss (or beam). If horizontal thrust is generated but the apex of the arc is a pin joint, this is structurally an A frame composed of two bents. If the stresses in the arch are along the path of the arc it is a true arch. In medicine, a truss is a kind of surgical appliance, particularly one used for hernia patients. ...

In the Iron Bridge shown in the box to the right, the structure of each frame emulates the kind of structure that previously had been made of wood.
Navajo Bridge An older (1929) and newer (1995) bridge of the same general construction, each built as unsupported cantilevers joined with a central pin.
An archbridge (sometimes deck archbridge to distinguish it from a through archbridge) is a bridge with abutments at each end shaped as a curved arch.
Masonry archbridges use a quantity of fill (typically compacted rubble) above the arch in order to increase this dead-weight on the bridge and prevent tension from occurring in the arch ring as loads move across the bridge.
Once the basic arch is constructed the arches are stabilized with infill masonry between the arches, which may be laid in horizontal running bond courses, These may form two walls, which are then infilled with loose material and rubble.
