bridge was then tested again. Therefore, every bridge type was tested a total of two times and the results were recorded. Results The first beam bridge held 14.5 pounds. Beam bridge number two held 12 pounds so the average weight of the beam bridges was 13.25 pounds. Arch bridge number one held 21.5 pounds. The second arch bridge held 21 pounds so the average weight held by the arch bridges was 21.25 pounds. Truss bridge number one held 24 pounds. The second truss bridge held 23 pounds so the average weight held by the truss bridges was 23.5 pounds. Conclusions/Discussion The results of this experiment proved that the hypothesis was correct in that the truss bridge held the most weight. The beam bridge was the weakest holding the least amount of weight and the arch bridge was the
inï¬ uence of the Roman development of the arch, a supporting structure in. building construction that could carry a lot of weight. An arch is a curved structure that is usually made of stone, brick, concrete, or, more recently, steel. Its purpose is to support or strengthen a building. Most arches consist of wedge-shaped blocks. The top center stone, called the keystone, is the last block to be inserted. During construction, arches are often supported by a wooden frame. When the frame is removed, both sides of the arch press against the keystone and thereby support the arch. The Romans did not invent the arch. Indeed, arches have been used since prehistoric times. The ancient Egyptians, Babylonians, and Greeks all used it. The purpose of the arch in these cultures, however, was limited to
