To solve this problem, we need to identify which of the loose bridge cards at the bottom belong in the "Arch Bridges" category.
Step 1: Understand what an Arch Bridge is.
An arch bridge uses a curved structure (an arch) underneath the roadway to support weight. The weight is carried outward along the curve to the supports at each end. Look for bridges that have distinct semi-circular or curved shapes supporting them.
Step 2: Analyze the loose cards at the bottom.
*
Card 1: Ponte Vecchio (Florence, Italy)
* Looking at the water level, you can see three distinct rounded arches supporting the bridge. Even though there are buildings on top, the structure holding it up is based on arches.
* *Conclusion:* This is an Arch Bridge.
*
Card 2: Stari Most (Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina)
* This bridge is a single, high, elegant curve spanning the river. It is a classic example of a stone arch bridge.
* *Conclusion:* This is an Arch Bridge.
*
Card 3: Aqueduct Of Segovia Bridge (Segovia, Spain)
* This structure consists of two tiers of many small, rounded arches stacked on top of each other. It relies entirely on arch construction to hold its height and weight.
* *Conclusion:* This is an Arch Bridge.
Step 3: Verify against the existing examples.
The "Arch Bridges" box already contains the New River Gorge Bridge and the Zhijing River Bridge. Both of these use large arches for support. The three cards analyzed above also rely on arches for their structural integrity.
Therefore, all three loose cards should be placed into the "Arch Bridges" section.
Final Answer:
The correct bridges to add to the "Arch Bridges" category are:
1.
Ponte Vecchio
2.
Stari Most
3.
Aqueduct Of Segovia Bridge
