What role does geometry play in the design and strength of a bridge?
Mathematics has an important role in space, two dimensional planes and three dimensional designs and structure of a bridge in geometrical principles of arch, beam/girders,cantilever and suspension in strength to weight bearing ratio in figures of lines ,angles shapes such as solids,polygons circles designs of columns and archs and materials like wood, masonary or steel for distribution of load and reinforcements for all types of bridges designs in arch masonary bridges, piers in trussed arch bridges,cantilever bridges,and suspension bridges. Mathematics has been applied since antiquity(Arabs,Egyptians,Greeks,Romans,Chinese) in the design and strength of bridges and other suspended structures. Geometry has always been the most important component of such structures, from early footbridges to the most recent modern bridges. One, two or three dimensional structure( geometry) determines where loads will be borne, and those points ultimately must meet to join in lynch pins in arch,cable anchorage and the center of gravity point on firm ground for column load piers/abutments .
