Can you imagine the weight of bridge structure, water & boats. I wouldn't want to spend too much time under it. |

For one thing, the water (the heaviest element) is a totally uniform load, meaning it's spread out over the entire surface, not a point load, plus, it's static not dynamic. Now, there is some tremendous loading going on, but it's all very easily accounted for, nothing abnormal going on. |

What varies is the people walking across or standing on the bridge. |

Think about what causes a boat to float (or anything to float). His point will come to you. Or Google displacement T |
