EXPERIMENT

Complete the study from WestPoint Bridge Design (Unit 2) to discover the influence of tension and compression on parts of a structure (bridge)  The square tubes are like columns or posts in a bridge or structure and the thin strips are like the cables or cross supports on a structure.

1. Read and answer the ten Questions.
