## Description

Product Description Have you ever wondered how skyscrapers stand on your way as the bridge spans far? Structural engineers design structures with sufficient strength and stability using their knowledge of physics and building materials properties and geometric shapes. With this modular assembly kit you can learn the fundamentals of structural engineering by doing 20 model building experiments. Each model demonstrates the basic principles of mechanical physics or structural engineering. Start with a small model and see how structural elements are installed together to maximize structural strength with a certain amount of materials. Learn about basic structural elements such as pillars, beams, truss, plates, arches, shells, catenary. Explore the force that works on structural components such as tension, compression, shear and bend. Transform into building more complex models of truss, roofs, and small buildings. Explore various types of bridge structures including Truss Bridge, Arch Bridge, Centilever Bridge, Rope Bridge, Suspension Bridge. Finally, build a model of towering skyscrapers. Which of the tallest tower can be built using only the pieces included in the kit? Learn about the strength and rigidity of the material. Discover how structural engineers optimize the elements to maximize safety and minimize the risk of cost and structural failure. 36-page full-color manual with step-by-step illustrated instructions guide you to build your model. Safety Warning No

Review: I got this for my 10 year old who developed an interest in bridge building after a school assignment. Some of the string projects needed adult assistance but overall he had fun building the structures and learning some engineering basics.
