An abutment is a structural element that supports the weight and pressure from an arch, bridge, or wall. It helps transfer the forces from these structures into the ground, ensuring stability and strength. Abutments are usually found at the ends of bridges or where arches meet, providing the necessary resistance to keep the structure in place. By absorbing and distributing the load, abutments play a key role in preventing collapse or shifting, making them essential for the durability and safety of buildings and bridges.
