What are the advantages and the disadvantages of a beam bridge?
Sarsni
It is a disadvantage that the same reason Hay's bridge was created is the same reason it is not suitable for measurement of quality factor (Q<10) for Q<10. An advantage is that it is simple expression of the unknown inductor for high quality.

∙ 13y ago- Good for short spans;
- Wide distances can be spanned by resting beams on piers.
- Can be expensive, even for fairly short spans, because of the need to use steel. A cheap material for beam bridges is concrete, but concrete on its own, is not strong enough to stand up to high forces of tension (pulling), so concrete needs to be reinforced with steel mesh;
- Very expensive for long spans, because of need for piers to support the long beams;
- It is not always possible to build support piers.

What are the advantages and disadvantage of fixed beam?
The advantages are that you reduce the saging moment in the beam thus also reducing the deflection. The disadvantages are that you are causing moment at the top over supports thus you will need some reinforcing in the top of the beam.
