#2 Churchville Road Bridge
The Churchville Road Bridge is a Warren Pony truss bridge that is located in Brampton, Ontario. This bridge is a Warren truss bridge because it has equilateral triangles which spreads out the loads on the bridge. It was first constructed in 1911 then again in 1999 to stay stable for cars. It is used for transporting people across the Credit River which flows near Orangeville into Lake Ontario. The bridge cost about 2,400 dollars and its materials are prestressed concrete, bolts, lattice railings, steel mills, etc. This bridge took a little over a year to build and is still standing after 16 years. Its as long as 90 feet with a width of 30 feet and about 9 feet tall. Churchville also has 3 main parts that includes a super structure, sub structure, and a road bed.

All of these things make the bridge unique in many ways and are why the …show more content…
These engineers use soil modification; changing the characteristics of soil by adding soil amendments to strengthen physical and chemical conditions to improve the bearing capacity of the soil. Then ground water controls erosions which prevents migrations of ground water from entering. Geotechnical engineering is basically the study of soil and rock foundations and different structural building as airports, landfalls, and deep execution. Since we know about Geotechnical engineering we can discover any gas lines or water pipes while executing for the bridge foundation. We also consider many environmental problems that could happen as in tornadoes, fires, collapse, etc. into
