Experiment with different types of bridge construction
The Thames & Kosmos Structural Engineering: Bridges & Skyscrapers teaches the basics of structural engineering by conducting a series of 20 model-building experiments. Each model demonstrates a basic principle of mechanical physics or structural engineering in a hands-on way.
Move on to building more complex models of trusses, roofs, and small buildings. Experiment with different types of bridge construction: truss bridge, arch bridge, cantilever bridge, rope bridge, and suspension bridge. A 36-page, full-color manual guides you through model building with step-by-step illustrated instructions.
