There are more than 500,000 bridges in the United States!

 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-

Presentation transcript:

Abutment: supports at the end of a bridge that carry the load and keep the ends from spreading out

Spandrel: vertical supports of a bridge used to distribute the weight of the roadway to the arch below

Span: The distance between two bridge supports

Truss: supporting lattice work added to create tall beams that add rigidity to an existing beam

Piers: an intermediate support for the adjacent ends of two bridge spans

Tower: a tall pier or frame supporting the cable of a suspension bridge

Beams: a horizontal structure supporting vertical loads by resisting bending

Hands-On Exploration Use toothpicks to experiment with possible designs. Use the Play-Doh to hold the toothpicks in place.

Blueprints Create 4 blueprints for different bridge designs For each blueprint 1.Why did you choose this design? You must include reasoning based on Internet research and hands-on exploration. 2.Label the parts of your design using the vocabulary from today.
