Bridge Structures and The Use of Geometry in Their Design What is a bridge? A bridge is a structure providing continuous passage over a body of water‚ roadway‚ or valley. Every bridge looks different from the another. Their bridge structure is different. There are nine types of main bridges. Bridge engineers use a lot of geometry to help them design the different bridges. Without geometry‚ the bridges would not be safe. Bridges have been around for a long time. The earliest bridges

What factors affect the bending of bridges? Abstract: This experiment was designed and conducted to find out how different factors affect the amount of bending of the beam. The two variables that were tested were the amounts of weight and the position of the weight on the plank. Aim: To find out how weight and different placements of the weight affect the bending of the beam. Hypothesis: It is predicted that the wood will bend more if there is more weight on it. When the weight is positioned

The trestle bridge is built with lateral and angled bracing‚ and horizontal and vertical reinforcements; to ensure the bridge can bear maximum weight. The base of the bridge is simply constructed with lateral bracing which is connected by horizontal panels that are connected to a horizontal‚ upright‚ panel on either side. Although‚ engineers rarely place lateral bracing on the base‚ it provides for extra stability. Moreover‚ the base also has upright and angled Popsicle sticks connected to the lateral
