Whichever material is the best at supporting weight and is perfect for a bridge, then they know which material to choose -Alecxa Estrada]]> 2016-09-14 20:40:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kayla_miller/h57fwv3edd40/wish/123917973 https://padlet.com/kayla_miller/h57fwv3edd40/wish/123918133 I think they draw designs and do math equations to see if it can hold cars or other heavy objects

I say this because When something is thick it will be harder to break.]]> 2016-09-14 20:42:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kayla_miller/h57fwv3edd40/wish/123918135 https://padlet.com/kayla_miller/h57fwv3edd40/wish/123918151 They know because they have done it before. They have also learned through history and time what materials work best in order to accomplish there goal. When they go to school for there degree in architecture that is part of what they are taught or what they want to learn.

Question #1

They also would recreate the type of area that the bridge will be standing in so that way there is no potential errors when building the actual bridge.

Why? Well, a bridge is very heavy and it needs some way of support! So, a bean would have to be thick enough to hold up the weight of the bridge.

The strength is how good the bean is at holding up heavier objects until it SPLATS!]]> 2016-09-14 20:43:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kayla_miller/h57fwv3edd40/wish/123918344 andrew_hamilton1 https://padlet.com/kayla_miller/h57fwv3edd40/wish/123918457 the bigger/thicker a structure is the more likely it is to collapse under it's own weight. To avoid this we can use things like triangles that are very strong and a low in mass. ]]> 2016-09-14 20:44:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kayla_miller/h57fwv3edd40/wish/123918457 https://padlet.com/kayla_miller/h57fwv3edd40/wish/123918502 It matters that materials are sturdy and built for it intended purpose. The designer had to also get his/her design approved by a engineer. ]]> 2016-09-14 20:44:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kayla_miller/h57fwv3edd40/wish/123918502 https://padlet.com/kayla_miller/h57fwv3edd40/wish/123918547 If a beam is very thick it obviously means that more material was used. With more material being used it makes it heavier and stronger.

Bridge designers figure out what materials to use when building by testing each material under a weight and build a scale model of a bridge and test that to see what materials would work best.
