Network arch bridges are cost-effective and visually appealing, requiring 35-50% less steel than traditional bridges. By using light steel skeletons, these arches can be erected economically. The key feature of a network arch is hangers that intersect at least twice. When the distance between arches is under 20m, it is recommended to use concrete ties for added stability.
