In contrast to fixed points (1 and 3), loose points (2) do not transfer any horizontal forces to subsequent structures. For example, roller supports are displaceable in the longitudinal direction of a bridge. Thus, the linear expansion due to temperature can be compensated without the necessity to enter additional loads into the structure.
