Structures and Bridge Engineering

Synopsis: Buildings and bridges, towers and tunnels, spacecraft and ships all require the application of structural principles in their design. Factors such as stress, strain, rigidity, weight, cost, availability of materials and many others must be considered in
the planning and building of a structure. As information is accumulated and new materials are developed, different designs become possible. These may result in
improved safety, reduced cost, better compatibility with the environment and greater comfort, convenience and visual appearance. Structures considered in this useful programme include the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, and the Second Severn
Crossing between England & Wales.
