Kick off to Pittsburgh's Bridges!

Today was the start of the investigation into Pittsburgh's bridges. We focused on the basics of bridge design and looked at some famous bridges. We looked into their design and how they deal with the forces involved such as gravity, weight of the vehicles, and forces of nature such as wind.
