What are 2 things engineers must consider before building a bridge?

There are many factors that an engineer must consider as a part of designing a bridge. The primary factor is the use of the bridge, covering loads size, and impacting the types of bridges that can be built. The second most important factor is the constraints of the location, this includes span requirements and features of the environment that must be considered. In combination with both of these, the available funds for construction and future upkeep can dictate limits, or even result in the ultimate finding that a practical bridge cannot be built. The problems in construction and aesthetics are also major factors that will dictate the final design, and in some cases, this has resulted in new construciton methods being designed as well.

How did Roman engineers solve the problem of having a dry place to begin building a bridge?
Build cofferdams
What do you call the type of engineer that designs bridges?
civil engineers, structural engineers, and architects are the main bridge builders.
How does science apply to bridge building?
When your building a bridge, you have to deal with questions like which materials should be used, how much force can be applied before the structure collapses, and how to construct a bridge with a greater ability to withstand wieght. --Stew Pidasole
What were arches used for before bridge building?
Apart from bridge building, arches are commonly used for doorways/openings. Throughout history arches have been used to spread vertical loads to create openings. Examples range from small garden arches to the Colosseum.
Why would bridge engineers choose a arch bridge design over other bridge designs?
Becuase bending moment in the middle of the bridge bending moment is less than ordinary or straight bridge and more strength
What do engineers consider when building a bridge?
The engineer has to take into consideration many fact available about the area like soil conditions, the topography of the environment, and weather conditions. Additionally he has to look at the requirements of the bridge itself such as the width of the bridge and the weight it must carry.
What concerns did engineers have in building the confederation bridge?

What did they need to consider before making the akashi kaikyo bridge?
the weather that could damage the bridge
What do bridge engineers invent?

What caused the millennium bridge in London to wobble?
The engineers that were responsible for building the bridge, created the 3D bridge on a 2D model. Plus the weight that the bridge could hold, was not calculated right for the people. Oops!

Why was it necessary for the engineers who built the Confederation Bridge to study the climate and storms in the Northumberland Strait before beginning to build?
because the confederation bridge had been planned to be built high and the bridge might have had some non-proper supports.
