Strength of Shapes! The shape of a structure affects how strong it is. Rectangles, arches, and triangles are the most common shapes used to build big.

There are more than 500,000 bridges in the United States!

 The biggest difference is the distance they can cross in a single span.  A modern arch can safely span up to 800 or 1,000 feet.  While a suspension.

 Every bridge ever constructed had the same 4 stresses to overcome.  Tensile Stress- Forces that try to stretch material and pull it apart.  Compression-

Examining Forces on Bridges.  At any given time, two main forces act upon a bridge: compression and tension.  It is the job of engineers to design bridges.

Strength of Shapes

Forces in Tension and Compression A force is a push or pull exerted by one object on another. A tensile force expands or lengthens the object it is acting on. A compressive force compresses or shortens the object it is acting on.

Forces in Tension and Compression The rope is in tension The stand is in compression.

Forces on Shapes Which shapes are strongest? Which deform when in tension? Which deform in compression? It depends on where you hold it and where you push or pull (top, bottom, sides…). Insert pipe cleaners into plastic straws and twist the ends to test different shapes. What happens?

Forces on Shapes Engineers consider shapes under heavy loads when building large structures. Triangles are the only shapes that cannot be deformed without changing the length of one of its sides Arches are strong because the force resulting from a heavy load placed at the top spreads down the sides to the foundation. A group of arches placed around a central point creates a dome, which distributes loads down through curving sides to the foundation.
