A tied-arch bridge is an arch bridge in which the outward-directed horizontal forces of the arch, or top chord, are borne as tension by the bottom chord (either tie-rods or the deck itself), rather than by the ground or the bridge foundations.
Thrusts downward on such a bridge's deck are translated, as tension, by vertical ties of the deck to the curved top chord, tending to flatten it and thereby to push its tips outward into the abutments, like other arch bridges. However, in a tied-arch or bowstring bridge, these movements are restrained not by the abutments but by the bottom chord, which ties these tips together, taking the thrusts as tension, rather like the string of a bow that is being flattened. Therefore, the design is often called a bowstring-arch or bowstring-girder bridge.
The elimination of horizontal forces at the abutments allows tied-arch bridges to be constructed with less robust foundations; thus they can be situated atop elevated piers or in areas of unstable soil. In addition, since they do not depend on horizontal compression forces for their integrity, tied-arch bridges can be prefabricated offsite, and subsequently floated, hauled or lifted into place. Notable bridges of this type include the Fremont Bridge in Portland, Oregon as well as the first "computer designed" bridge of this type the Fort Pitt Bridge in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
This video explores the basic structural behavior of how tied arch bridges work. While different tied arch bridges will have slightly different behavior, the basic structural analysis and design for most tied arch bridges is very similar. Structural model you see here was drafted using Revit 2020 and footage was shot to show some real-life examples of tied arch bridges around Chicago. I hope you enjoy the video.

How Arches Work! (with Diagrams!): Structures 2-2
Arches are the opposite of cables. Arches work in compression while cables work in tension. Arches are rigid while cables are flexible.
And, for the same loads, the shape of the thrustline within an arch is the same, just inverted, from the shape of a cable.
So we can look at thrustlines within arches. They tell us a lot about the behavior of the compression force within the arch. If the thrustline stays within the arch then there are no concerns (here, we’re assuming the arch is made of rigid blocks that can’t carry tension between them). But, if the load is to the side we see how there can be a problem as the thrustline leaves the arch itself.
We then go through a range of other loads on an arch and how the internal thrustline changes. Each time, we compare the thrustline to the...

A tied-arch bridge is an arch bridge in which the outward-directed horizontal forces of the arch, or top chord, are borne as tension by the bottom chord (either tie-rods or the deck itself), rather than by the ground or the bridge foundations.
Thrusts downward on such a bridge's deck are translated, as tension, by vertical ties of the deck to the curved top chord, tending to flatten it and thereby to push its tips outward into the abutments, like other arch bridges. However, in a tied-arch or bowstring bridge, these movements are restrained not by the abutments but by the bottom chord, which ties these tips together, taking the thrusts as tension, rather like the string of a bow that is being flattened. Therefore, the design is often called a bowstring-arch or bowstring-girder bridge.
The elimination of horizontal forces at the abutments allows tied-arch bridges to be constructed with less robust foundations; thus they can be situated atop elevated piers or in areas of unstable soil. In addition, since they do not depend on horizontal compression forces for their integrity, tied-arch bridges can be prefabricated offsite, and subsequently floated, hauled or lifted into place. Notable bridges of this type include the Fremont Bridge in Portland, Oregon as well as the first "computer designed" bridge of this type the Fort Pitt Bridge in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
