Engineering Issue–Can This Work for Roads of the Future?
Obviousity asked:
I have an idea. Instead of building roads that require the ground to be cleared, prepped, leveled, and so forth, we build “bridge roads” that allow water and wildlife to retain their habitats, that don’t get washed out by floods, etc. Basically, it is a bridge over dry lang.
Question: is there an alternative way to support such a bridge rather than pilings? That is, COULD the bridge rest on, say, “blocks” of concrete without the blocks settling or sinking into the ground/mud and messing up the bridge.
Or any other alternative.
If pilings MUST be used, how deep do they typically have to go? Is there an alternative way to network the pilings so that they don’t have to go so deep, say?
This would enable us to open up remote areas to development–without leaving too big of a footprint, etc.
Thank you for your engineering ingenuity!

Will there be an increase of engineering jobs in the near future?
NeoElectric asked:
“WASHINGTON – President-elect Barack Obama, who is set to announce his economic team, promoted an economic plan Saturday he said would create or save 2.5 million jobs by spending billions of dollars to rebuild roads and bridges and modernize schools while developing alternative energy sources and more efficient cars.”
“‘We’ll put people back to work rebuilding our crumbling roads and bridges, modernizing schools that are failing our children, and building wind farms and solar panels,” Obama said. He also made a commitment to fuel-efficient cars and alternative energy technologies “that can free us from our dependence on foreign oil and keep our economy competitive in the years ahead.’”

Pros of a beam bridge?
Damien asked:
In Physics we had to build a popscicle stick bridge. I allowed my partner to build the bridge and we agreed that i would write the paper. Well he made a beam bridge and i am supposed to support the beam bridge with historical or engineering imformation. What im getting at is what pros does a beam bridge have in the case of a popscicle stick bridge meant to support as much weight as possible

Need the help of ppl who knows something about engineering?
johnsmith13571357 asked:
Aite well i gotta build a bridge that is made from spegeti and only get to use glue and spegeti and i was wondering wut would be the best method to use the bridge only has 2 be half a meter but has to hold the most but weigh the less so the ratio of what it holds to wut it weighs is the highest not just like 2 more like 30 times it or so well thanks

Probability of bridge repair?
Monty asked:
An engineering firm shows that the probability is 0.2 that one of its new bridges will require repair within a year.
A) What is the probability that the tenth bridge it builds will be the second one to require repair within a year?
B) What is the probability that the sixth bridge it builds will be the first one to require repair?
Thanks
