Description
Bridges don't fall down because they are designed to withstand forces like wind and weight. In "How Do Bridges Not Fall Down?", Jennifer Shand explains how different types of bridges work, including column and beam structures, ancient building techniques, and skyscraper construction methods. The book also explores how buildings are built in various locations, taking into account factors such as geography and climate. With diagrams, photos, and engaging text, readers can learn about the science behind bridge and building design. This book is part of the "How Do" series, which encourages readers to explore the science behind everyday things. By understanding the principles of architecture and engineering, readers can gain a deeper appreciation for how things are made and why they work.
