Learning Standards 5. Construction Technologies Construction technology involves building structures in order to contain, shelter, manufacture, transport, communicate, and provide recreation. 5. 2 Identify and describe three major types of bridges (e. g. , arch, beam, and suspension) and their appropriate uses (e. g. , site, span, resources, and load). 5. 3 Explain how the forces of tension, compression, torsion, bending, and shear affect the performance of bridges. 5. 4 Describe and explain the effects of loads and structural shapes on bridges.
Learning Objectives At the conclusion of the lesson students will be able to: 1) Define Bridge 2) Identify & describe 5 major parts of a bridge 3) Identify & describe 5 forces that affect bridges 4) Identify & describe 7 types of bridges
A structure built to span a physical obstacle
Parts of a Bridge Thick wire that supports the deck of the bridge Cables Heavy column above the bridge that supports cables Surface on which traffic moves Tower Deck Abutments Span Heavy column that Pier holds up a bridge Distance between 2 supports or towers Heavy supports at the end of a bridge
Parts of a Bridge Truss Triangular framework used to support the bridge
Early Bridges The first bridges were: Stepping Stones Log Over a Stream
Early Bridges Later people used large flat rocks connect the stepping stones allowing them to cross over the bridge with small carts
Forces Upon Bridges Forces must be considered when building bridges Compression A force that pushes Tension A force that pulls Torsion A force that twists Bending What happens when something heavy crosses a structure Shear A force acting across any structure Click here to learn more about the forces that affect bridges
Beam Bridge Most common & oldest type of bridge Example: Highway overpasses
Beam Bridge Unsupported beams can span distances only up to 250 feet Longer Beam Bridges need piers for support along the span
Beam Bridge Top of Beam Bridges & piers are under COMPRESSION Bottom of Beam Bridges are under TENSION
Drawbridge A Beam Bridge that has surfaces that can be raised or lowered to allow the passage of boats
Arch Bridge First designed & created by the Romans First Arch Bridges were made of wedge shaped stones locked in a curve
Arch Bridge Arch bridges rely on the force of compression to work effectively
Suspension Bridge is suspended (hangs) from large vertical cables Used to cross very wide spans (2000 - 7000 ft)
Suspension Bridge Cables & abutments (anchorages) are under the force of tension Towers are under the force of compression
Cable Stayed Bridge Cheaper & easier to construct than traditional Suspension Bridge Cables connected to towers stretch down diagonally to support beam
Cable Stayed Bridge Cables are under the force of tension Towers are under the force of compression
Truss Bridge Made of steel beams constructed into rigid triangle shapes called trusses The trusses can be above or below the bridge Why triangles? ? ? Triangles are considered one of the strongest shapes
Truss Bridge Forces affecting Truss Bridges Blue Arrows represent TENSION Red Arrows represent COMPRESSION
Cantilever Bridge (using trusses) Cantilever: Self supporting beam that is fastened to the ground at one end 2 cantilevers meet in the middle & are connected by trusses The strong design of these bridges resist high winds
Types of Bridges Cantilever Bridge Beam Bridge Arch Bridge Truss Bridge Types of Bridges Suspension Bridge Drawbridge Cable Stayed Bridge
Braga Bridge 5780 ft long Opened in 1965 Cantilever Bridge (using trusses)

Millau Viaduct
Millau Viaduct Located in France Tallest bridge in the world – one of the masts has a summit of 1, 125 ft Just about as tall as the Empire State Building Opened December 14, 2004 – Took only 3 years to build Total length: 8, 071 ft
Millau Viaduct
Veterans Memorial Bridge Somerset, Mass.
London Tower Bridge Drawbridge with Suspension
Providence River Railroad Bridge Drawbridge
Bourne Bridge Arch Bridge (w/ suspended deck) Crosses Cape Cod Canal in Bourne, Ma Crosses Cape Cod Canal in Sagamore, Ma Opened in 1935 Sagamore Bridge
IWay Bridge – Providence, RI IWay Video Part 1 IWay Video Part 2
Cape Cod Railroad Bridge Lift Bridge Crosses Cape Cod Canal in Bourne, Ma Opened in 1935
