Transverse frame to the bridge comprised of columns or piers and a horizontal bearing member to support the girders framing into it.

Think of a pier as a single leg and a bent as a frame with multiple legs tied together at the top. In practice, engineers

Frame bridges are often the most economical solution for smaller spans. Orthogonal and trapezoidal frames are particularly suitable

The rigid-frame bridges are superstructure-substructure integral structures with the superstructure can be considered as a girder.

The footing transmits the weight of piers or bents, and the bridge reactions to the supporting soil or rock. The footing also provides
