NAME THAT BRIDGE
Below are facts about the different types of bridges you have investigated. Match the fact with
the name of a bridge from the list provided. You may use the bridge names more than once.
ARCH BEAM TRUSS BASCULE
CANTILEVER SUSPENSION CABLE-STAYED
1. Because bridges like me are long, light in weight, and high in the air, our greatest enemy
is the wind. _____________________________________________
2. Builders made the original versions of me out of wedge shaped stones that fitted snugly
together. They were held in place with the pressure from the weight of the bridge. _______
______________________________________
3. My bridge design is popular when the span is less than 1,000 meters, mainly because I do
not need anchorages or many piers. _______________________________
4. My name means “seesaw” in French and the English dictionary describes me as a lever –
something that is counterbalanced, so that when one end is lowered, the other is raised.
______________________________________________
5. In the past I was commonly used to cross narrow obstacles like streams or small rivers.
_______________________________________________
6. The strength of my design lies in the use of triangles. ____________________________
7. Bridges like me are usually made from two beams, each supported by one pier.
___________________________________________________
8. I am a new bridge design that includes elements from a cantilever and a suspension
bridge, I am easier to build than either of those but I am limited to spanning shorter
distances. ____________________________________________________________
9. Two bridges that are like me are the Humber Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge.
They both have decks that hang from cables made of hundreds of steel wires.
_________________________________________________
10. I am one of the oldest and simplest bridge designs. Today I can be quite a complex
bridge, but like my ancestors, I support my own weight and the loads I have to bear,
on vertical piers. ________________________________________
