商品簡介
How do bridges stay up when cars drive across them? Join Lila & Andy as they discover the amazing science behind bridge engineering! Connecting worlds through creative design.
When Lila and Andy explore bridge engineering with their structural engineer dad, young readers discover the fascinating world of bridge spans, pylons, and suspension cables. Learn how arch bridges use curved strength to support loads, why cantilevers extend from single support points, and how engineers choose materials based on span length and site conditions.
This revised and updated second edition now includes a comprehensive quiz to test understanding, a detailed glossary of related bridge terms, as well as a list of exciting career opportunities, making it even more valuable for educators and curious young minds.
In this book you will discover:
- How different bridge types work, from simple beam bridges to complex suspension structures
- How engineering design processes consider dead loads, live loads, and environmental forces
- Why structural engineers select concrete, steel, timber, or stone for different bridge projects
- Different bridge components, including superstructures, substructures, and underground foundations
- Real-world applications kids see daily, from highway overpasses to historic covered bridges
- How specialized bridges like aqueducts carry water, and viaducts span wide valleys
This scientific adventure combines engaging storytelling with real engineering concepts, making complex structural principles accessible for young learners. Perfect introduction to STEM careers in civil and structural engineering.
Perfect for:
- Young readers fascinated by how bridges connect places and carry traffic (ages 8-14)
- Middle school STEM curriculum support for physics and engineering units
- Homeschool science and technology resources about structures and engineering design
- Future engineers who love understanding the structural marvels that span rivers, valleys, and roads
Part of the beloved "Lila and Andy learn" book series, this collection builds scientific literacy one fascinating topic at a time.
Preparing tomorrow's structural engineers today.
