History of bridges and tunnels
The first bridges were made by nature itself - as simple as a log fallen across
a stream or stones in the river. The first bridges made by humans were probably
spans of cut wooden logs or eventually stones, using a simple support and
crossbeam arrangement. Some early Americans used trees or bamboo poles to
cross small wells to get from one place to another. A common form of sticks, logs, and deciduous branches together involved the use of long fibres woven together to form a rope used for binding and holding together the materials used in early bridges.
Romans built arch bridges and aqueducts that could stand in conditions that would damage or destroy earlier designs. Some stand today. An example is the Alcantara
Bridge, built over the river Tagus, in Spain. The Romans also used cement, which
reduced the variation of strength found in natural stone. One type of cement, called
pozzolana, consisted of water, lime, sand, and volcanic rock. Brick and mortar
bridges were built after the Roman era, as the technology for cement was lost
then later rediscovered. An ancient Indian treatise mentions the construction of dams and bridges. The use of stronger bridges using plaited (переплетенный) bamboo and iron chain was visible in India by about the 4th century. A number of bridges, both for military and commercial purposes, were constructed by the Mughal administration in India.
