Abstract The purpose of my project is to build different types of bridges and test to observe which can hold up the best to different weather conditions and natural phenomena. The three bridge types I chose are truss, arch and suspension bridges. Each bridge type was tested against force (weight), earthquake, and wind. Using different types of bridges, experiments were performed under 3 different conditions.
