## Description

Product Description Have you ever wondered how the bridge travels farther and how skyscrapers stand up? Structural engineers use their knowledge of physics and construction materials and geometric shapes to design a structure with sufficient strength and stability. This modular building kit gives you 20 model building experiments to learn the fundamentals of structural engineering. Each model shows the basic principles of mechanical physics or structural engineering. Start with small models and show how to attach the structural elements together to maximize the strength of the structure with a certain amount of materials. Learn about basic structural elements such as columns, beams, truss, plates, arches, shells and catenaries. Detects the force that works on structural components such as tension, compression, shear and bend. Moves to build more complex models of truss, roofs and small buildings. Experiment with various types of bridge structures such as truss bridge, arch bridge, cantilever bridge, rope bridge, suspension bridge, etc. Finally, build a model of a towering skyscraper. Which tallest tower can be built using only the pieces included in the kit? Learn about the strength and rigidity of the material. See how structural engineers optimize the elements to maximize safety, minimize cost and risk of structural failure. 36-page full-color manual with step-by-step illustrated instructions to guide you through model building Safety Warning No need
