 Key Learning ◦ Various shaped objects offer different strengths.  Unit Essential Question ◦ Why is it important to know the strengths of various shaped.

Structural Form The part of a structure that must transmit applied loads is the structural system. The mode of transmission is a function of geometrical.

Bridges Mr. O’Rourke Technology. What is a Bridge? A structure built to span a valley, road, body of water or other physical obstacle for the purpose.

 The biggest difference is the distance they can cross in a single span.  A modern arch can safely span up to 800 or 1,000 feet.  While a suspension.

 Every bridge ever constructed had the same 4 stresses to overcome.  Tensile Stress- Forces that try to stretch material and pull it apart.  Compression-

Examining Forces on Bridges.  At any given time, two main forces act upon a bridge: compression and tension.  It is the job of engineers to design bridges.

Types of Structures  Residential - Structures in which people live.  Ex. Single family houses, condominiums, and apartment complexes.  Industrial -

There are many types of bridges including:

What type of bridge???

The figure below shows examples of bridges numbered 1 through 6. Identify one example from the figure that represents a type of arch bridge. Explain how an arch bridge is different from a beam bridge. Identify one example from the figure that represents a type of beam bridge. Explain how a beam bridge is different from a suspension bridge.

Support cables in a suspension bridge are most stressed by which of the following forces? A. Shear B. torsion C. tension D. compression

The diagram below shows the supports of a proposed bridge. Which of the following wooden bridge designs, if built from one support to the other, would withstand the heaviest load?
