how were bridges designed before, say 1850, sometimes way before, able to handle the weight of a ww2 tank?

In: Engineering
It was also common for some rich dude to pay for the bridge as a vanity project or for philanthropic reasons. They’d want it to last well beyond thier own years and be big and impressive.
