"This program examines the processes of bridge design and construction and the underlying scientific principals required for them, includes many instructive interviews with bridge building experts and a variety of examples of bridge constructions from around the globe."
"This best-selling programme explores how bridges are made, focusing on the physics used in design and construction. The design process is explored step-by-step from construction to completion and includes a look at materials and how costs are governed by environmental, aesthetic and functional concerns. -- Classroom Video website."@en
""Using physics to build a bridge between design and construction, how we get from point A to B. This Australian-made, curriculum fit program explores how bridges are made, with a focus on the physics used in design and construction. The elements of bridge building are explored step by step, from conception to completion - including factors such as materials used and how costs are governed by environmental, aesthetic and functional elements. These key issues are discussed by Technical Manager Cliff Sagot and Senior Structural Engineer Natalie Balcott from The Robert Bird Group. Their first hand knowledge gives an invaluable look into how these structures bring land and people together but also illustrate the shortfalls of bad design."--Container."
