contents Using high-resolution x-ray tomography, we experimentally investigate the bridge structures in tapped granular packings composed of particles with varying friction coefficients. We find that gravity can induce subtle structural changes on the load-bearing contacts, allowing us to identify the correct load-bearing contacts based on structural information alone. Using these identified load-bearing contacts, we investigate the cooperative bridge structures which are mechanical backbones of the system. We characterize the geometric properties of these bridges and find that their cooperativity increases as the packing fraction decreases. The knowledge of bridges can enhance our understanding of the rheological properties of granular materials.
