Why are some bridges supported by rolles at one side?
Thermal expansion and contraction can put huge stresses into a large structure such as a bridge. To minimise this effect, the rollers are designed to allow the end of the bridge to move with the expansion and contraction.
What would happen if bridges are not supported by roller?
Many bridges are NOT supported by a roller - however of those that NEED this type of design, if both ends were fixed solid - then as the bridge expanded and contracted with temperature, it would be forced to buckle in heat - or suffer extreme stresses when cooling - possibly to the point of structural failure and/or uprooting of the foundations of one or both sides.
How do you spell the plural of stress?
The plural of "stress" is "stresses."
What is the strongest geometric shape used in construction?
Triangles and octet-trusses are used alot in bridges become they hold their shape well when subject to a variety of stresses. However hexagons and lorimerlite frameworks are used in different conditions, where they must resist only compression as opposed to a variety of stresses. Also the straight line is the best geometry for resisting tension, hence the use of steel cables.
