Truss bridges have many advantages that make it more useful for everyday use. The truss bridge is very economical to build and uses very few resources. It uses light materials and small loads of timber or whatever it is being made of. It is also one of the stronger bridges that can be built. The trusses on top of the bridge make it very strong because the triangle shape takes away much of the pressure and spreads the pressure to the triangles and takes it away from the road part of the bridge.

Bridge Design Process In order to begin we must start our design process with the first step. We have to identify the need. The scenario is that we need to connect two pieces of land or structure so that a car must be able to pass through it. In this project we are to design and construct a bridge for a matchbox car. The bridge must be made of balsa wood and glue only. It must support its own weight‚ the load of the matchbox car‚ and additional weights that will be added. Next we must

The winter of 1866/1867‚ which was one of the worst
