Help! We are scientists on an expedition in Antarctica. A crack has appeared in the ice leaving one of our team stranded on the opposite side. We need to get across to her. The gap is getting wider. The rescue helicopter is delayed by bad weather. A bridge might be a good idea. Can you help us by testing a few designs and advise us which is best? 122

Stranded! 133

Examples of bridge designs Can you spot a suspension bridge? Which bridge is a cantilever? Which one is an arch bridge? Truss bridges have triangle shaped parts. 144
