		Bridges may be classified by how the four forces of tension, compression, bending and shear are distributed through their structure.

		Jamuna Bridge, more correctly called the Jamuna Multi-purpose Bridge, opened in June 1998, is the longest bridge in Bangladesh as well as in South Asia, and the 11th longest bridge in the world.
		It was constructed over the Jamuna River, mightiest of the three major rivers of Bangladesh, and fifth largest in the world in terms of volumetric discharge.
		In October 1995, one year after the commencement of physical work of the bridge, a bridge length of 4.8 km, instead of a flood-width of the river at 14 km, was finalised.

		The truth of the matter is that the Brahmaputra, or Jamuna as we must now call the river, remains very fickle, altering course with each monsoon and sometimes becoming as wide as 40 km in the rains.
		So the engineers had to bring the river to heel if they were not to find their bridge stranded in the monsoon, cut off from both banks.
		Bridging the Jamuna would also have international implications, putting in place the last link in the Asian highway.

	Transport - Jamuna Bridge
		Communications between the marginalized northwest and the rest of the country were poor and, as a result, the north remained vulnerable to poverty and slow economic growth.
		The Jamuna Bridge provided the first land connection between the relatively under-developed northwest and the more developed eastern region which includes Dhaka, the capital, and the port city of Chittagong.
		These were substantially reduced after the bridge was built leading to a rise in the export of regional goods and the migration of labor.

		Long-term simulations covering 30 years were applied to assess changes in the overall characteristics of the braided Jamuna river due to the bridge.
		After completion of the bridge, the model is being used to support in Operation and Maintenance of the bridge.

		Consultants of the Paksey Bridge, officially named as the Lalon Shah Bridge, are hopeful that the bridge will witness rapid growth of traffic movement through it in coming years and with this, economic mobility of both South and Northern region of the country will also be increased.
		A report prepared by the consultants of the bridge shows that communication with South West of Bangladesh and Mongla Port facilities, through to the North West, India and Nepal via Jamuna Bridge to Dhaka, the commercial centre of Bangladesh depends on crossing the River Padma at Paksey.
		That's why the foundation of the bridge is deepest and length of the continuous concrete structure is the longest in the world.

		The vision of bridging the Jamuna dates back to 1966, when the construction of the bridge was first proposed in the East Pakistan assembly.
		Before the bridge was constructed, fruits and vegetables being trans-ported from the northwest region were often damaged or spoiled in transit before reaching markets on the other side of the Jamuna River.
		During the devastating 1998 floods, the bridge played a critical role in preventing famine by enabling food and relief supplies to be transported quickly from one side of the country to the other.

	Abstract
		In addition, the mathematical model was used for evaluating the impact of the bridge project in terms of higher erosion and deposition rates, increased flood water levels etc. A subsequent evaluation of the model performance by comparing the forecasted and the actual morphological developments after the considered monsoon period revealed a high degree of coincidence.
		The Jamuna Multipurpose Bridge is one of the largest infrastructure projects in the country ever.
		A mathematical model covering 36 kilometres of the Jamuna River in Bangladesh in the vicinity of the Jamuna Multipurpose Bridge presently under construction (1995-1998) has been applied to prepare forecasts of the morphological changes during construction of the bridge and to analyse the morphological impact of the bridge project.
