Les ponts comprennent essentiellement des éléments porteurs et des appuis. Les éléments porteurs transmettent aux appuis les efforts provenant des différentes charges qu'ils ont à supporter, et les appuis transmettent ces efforts au sol par l'intermédiaire des fondations. Parmi les appuis, on distingue les culées, qui sont les appuis d'extrémités, et les piles qui sont les appuis intermédiaires.
