Abstract
Meet Bea, Archie, Trudy and Spence, otherwise know as the BATS! They crisscross the globe using every type of bridge: beam, arch, truss and suspension. From ancient low-slung rope bridges to modern high-tech towers of steel, they'll traverse 'em all.
Learn why we need bridges in the first place. Who uses them? What are they made of? How do you design them to be both aesthetically beautiful and structurally stable? Get a load of the oldest, longest, tallest and weirdest superstructures still standing. You'll identify the dangerous forces trying to bring bridges crashing down and learn how to defeat those forces... through engineering!
