Bridge Design

Introduction
Bridges are among the most
important structures that engineers may design. Knowledge of forces
and the way they are distributed allows engineers to design bridges
with the least amount of materials and the highest possible
strength. What factors to they consider? How the forces are
distributed?

Project
description
Without the knowledge of bridge
design, one may try using the highest amount of strong materials in
order to make s strong bridge. Many bridges collapse because they cannot
resist the pressure of their own weight. In this engineering
investigation project you will discover the rules by your own initial
experiments and then use your knowledge to make a bridge that is light
and strong. In your demonstration you will show that your bridge can
carry loads that are many times more than its own weight.
This is an engineering
project. Engineering projects do not use Scientific Method and many not
have a question, hypothesis and variables. |
