How Bridges Work

Introduction

In this section, I'm going to introduce you to the different types of bridges we considered building for our competition.  We start this section describing how our bridge will be used.  You can then click on each of the different types below to find out more about arch, suspension, cantilever, beam, king post, truss and queen post bridges.  Next, we compare the bridges against one another and pick one to build.  Finally, we describe the names of each of the pieces of the bridge we will build.
