Research ULO 1, 2, 3

30% Research a bridge of choice online - Describe the type of bridge, location,

materials, span, member sizes, support type - Identify type of loads acting on the bridge,

sketch and describe how the bridge maintains its equilibrium (draw free body diagram)

- Identify tension/compression members - Identify possible advantages and

disadvantages of this type of bridge Failure of bridge - Describe type of bridge, location - When did failure occur? How long after

operation - Why did failure occur? What were the lessons

learnt. - If you were the engineer responsible for this

bridge, what would you have done differently? Please note PLAGIARISM!! Do not cut and paste materials straight from website – write in your own words
