Practice Bridge Structure

Lesson Plan for Bridge Building

Through this activity, students will learn the basic design of bridges and which structures are the most stable and efficient in terms of the amount of material used.

Designing Bridges

Students learn about the types of possible loads, how to calculate ultimate load combinations, and investigate the different sizes for the beams (girders) and columns (piers) of

ACTIVITY GUIDE

Each page is illustrated with diagrams and body exercises to help you understand the structural forces at work in each bridge. The pushing force of compression is shown in orange, and the pulling force of
