A shorter bridge is generally stronger than a longer one because it can better resist the forces acting on it, such as tension and compression. Shorter spans typically require fewer materials and have less flexibility, making them less susceptible to bending or swaying under load. However, the specific design and materials used also play a crucial role in a bridge's strength and stability. Ultimately, the context and intended use of the bridge will determine the optimal span length.
What else can I help you with?
Is shorter or longer straws stronger?
Shorter straws are generally stronger than longer ones due to their reduced length, which minimizes the risk of bending or collapsing under pressure. The structural integrity of a straw is influenced by its height; shorter straws have less leverage against external forces. However, the material and design also play significant roles in determining overall strength.
Is 0.9 mile shorter or longer than 1 mile?
Shorter
In Britain is daytime in February longer or shorter or the same length as June?
Shorter.
Does the length of a pendulum effect how it swings?
Yes, the length of a pendulum affects its swing. The oscillation will be longer with a longer length and shorter with a shorter length.
Is 11 ft 4 in longer or shorter than 135 in?
They are the same.
Is a shorter or longer bridge stronger?
Everything else being equal, a shorter bridge is stronger: it will weigh less, and therefore will not have to support so much of its own weight.
What is Cable-stayed bridge function?
The cable-stayed bridge is a type of bridge that is optimal for spans longer than is practical for cantilever bridges, and shorter than is economical for suspension bridges.
How was the suspension bridge changed by the use of metal?
The could be made longer and stronger. (learn to use grammar fag)
Are tall people stronger?
Yes. They are naturally stronger than shorter people, unless they are anorexic. On average, tall people are stronger because longer limbs generate more leverage and have a greater range of motion.
Is Brooklyn bridge longer or the george p Coleman bridge longer?
the george p Coleman bridge is longer
Why is the longer leg longer than the shorter leg if the shorter leg is longer than the longer leg?
Because if the shorter leg was shorter than the longer leg was long, then the longer leg wouldn't be longer than the shorter leg is short. The short leg would be the longer one rather than the long one being the short one.
Which bridge is longer-Rewa or Melrose?
The Rewa Bridge is much longer then the Melrose bridge.
Does friction waste more work on longer or shorter planes well how can you tell?
Its longer cuz the longer the flatter the incline plane, and on flatter planes, the object presses more than on the shorter ( steeper ones)
What does a arch do on a bridge?
The bridge is supported by an arch or a series on arches to make the bridge stronger.
What gets longer the shorter it gets?
A candle. As it burns, it gets shorter in length but longer in wax height.
How much shorter is the great belt bridge than the akashi kaikyo bridge?
500
Which lens bends a light ray more or less with a shorter or with longer focal length?
A lens with a shorter focal length will bend a light ray more, while a lens with a longer focal length will bend it less. The strength of a lens is inversely proportional to its focal length - shorter focal lengths result in stronger bending of light rays.
