    and water falls between the mountains. The water falls have swinging bridges going across them and not everyone will walk across because of the fear of it breaking or swinging too much. So my idea is to have the children build a regular bridge with a roof that does not swing and sheds shade to those in wheel chairs can enjoy the water falls and bridge as well. In this activity we will use Lincoln logs to build a two layer bridge that stretches across with a covered top. First we will sort the…

    Discussion: Bridges are affected by both internal and external forces. Internal forces occur within the bridge, through tension, compression, bending, etc. External forces are applied to the outside of the bridge, and can be static or dynamic. The static load of the bridge is the bridge itself, and the weight of its members and components. This is created by the force of gravity pulling on the members of the bridge. The dynamic load moves and changes, such as traffic, people, wind. It is created…

    A beam bridge or known as a girder bridge, is a bridge structure that consists of horizontal beams spanning supported by pillar at each end of the deck. The weight of the beam including the structure itself, plus any load it carries are supported by the downward force into the pillars. The beam bridge works on the principles of compression and tension, where on top of the bridge bends, it undergoes compression and at the bottom it is subjected to a horizontal tension. Therefore, the bridge must…

    As seen in Figure 8 above, Eco Logical Australia recommends the placement of 20 road signs in areas deemed to be high risk. These areas were chosen by analysing the green lines which indicate a high risk road. The overall cost of a sign includes production, installation, and maintenance. This information was extremely difficult to obtain, therefore an estimate has been created. The base cost for a wildlife warning sign is $175 (Seton, 2017). It is then estimated that installation costs are $120…
