You cannot use such bridges as tension or compression members-the new space that you create will just stay the same as you move your holes closer or farther apart.

These continuous tension discontinuous compression structures featured single force compression members ( no flexure or bending moments ) that did not touch each other and were'suspended'by the tensional members.

Consid�re's compression members were usually circular or polygonal in section, and he introduced spiral winding in other zones of compression, such as the haunches of beams, where they were angled up on the slope.

The Turnpike bridge was probably a King Through Truss, in which a timber A-frame provides the compression members, with wrought iron tie bars underneath; this design gives the best ( least ) depth of construction.

The bridge employs laced channel sections for vertical compression members, paired eyebars for horizontal tension members and lower chord members, angle sections for overhead sway bracing and portal bracing, and crossed eyebars for top-lateral and bottom-lateral bracing.
16.
The buckling mode of deflection is considered a failure mode, and it generally occurs before the axial compression stresses ( direct compression ) can cause failure of the material by yielding or fracture of that compression member.

"' Compression members "'are structural elements that are pushed together or carry a load, more technically they are subjected only to axial posts and columns are almost always compression members as are the " top chord " of trusses.

Prestressing tendons ( generally of high tensile steel cable or rods ) are used to provide a clamping load which produces a compressive stress that offsets the tensile stress that the concrete compression member would, otherwise, experience due to a bending load.
20.
The load-carrying capacities of cold-formed steel flexural and compression members are usually limited by yield point or buckling stresses that are less than the yield point of steel, particularly for those compression elements having relatively large flat-width ratios and for compression members having relatively large slenderness ratios.
