Summary

Students learn about the variety of materials used by engineers in the design and construction of modern bridges. They also find out about the material properties important to bridge construction and consider the advantages and disadvantages of steel and concrete as common bridge-building materials to handle compressive and tensile forces.

This engineering curriculum aligns to Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).

Engineering Connection

When designing structures such as bridges, engineers carefully choose the materials by anticipating the forces the materials (the structural components) are expected to experience during their lifetimes. Usually, ductile materials such as steel, aluminum and other metals are used for components that experience tensile loads. Brittle materials such as concrete, ceramics and glass are used for components that experience compressive loads.

Learning Objectives

After this lesson, students should be able to:

List several common materials used the design and construction of structures.

Describe several factors that engineers consider when selecting materials for the design of a bridge.

Explain the advantages and disadvantages of common materials used in engineering structures (steel and concrete).

mart [117]

Answer:

Option D. is correct

Explanation:

Joe uses one of his CAT5 patch cables to connect two hubs to add a new segment to his local network. As he can only connect to it from a workstation within that segment,  he is not able to reach the new network segment from his workstation.

The most problem is that the technician used a straight-through cable.

Option D. is correct.

Describe the make-up of an internal combustion engine.<br> Pls answer quickly.
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

The engine consists of a fixed cylinder and a moving piston. The expanding combustion gases push the piston, which in turn rotates the crankshaft. Ultimately, through a system of gears in the power-train, this motion drives the vehicle's wheels.

3. What is a caliber (relate it to rockets)
Kamila [148]

Answer:

In this context a caliber is defined as the diameter of the body tube, and it is used to support the general rule of thumb that for a rocket of typical aspect ratio to be stable the CG should be one caliber ahead of CP.

Which one of the following faults cause the coffee in a brewer to keep boiling after the brewing cycle is finished?
MrRa [10]

Answer:

  C.  Welded contacts on the thermostat

Explanation:

Any fault that keeps the heating element heating when it should not is a fault that will cause the symptom described. The details <em>depend on the design of the brewer</em> (not given).

"A short at the terminals" depends on what terminals are being referenced. The device on-off switch terminals are normally connected together when the brewer is turned on, so a short there may not be observable.

"Welded contacts on the thermostat" will have the observed effect if the thermostat is the primary means of ending the brewing cycle. If the thermostat of interest is an overheat protective device not normally involved in ending the brewing cycle, then that fault may not cause the observed symptom.

__

If the heating element is open-circuit, no heating will occur. A gasket leak may cause a puddle, but may have nothing to do with the end of the brewing cycle. (Loss of water can be expected to end boiling, rather than prolong it.)
