Engineers have several tools at their disposal when it comes to building massive structures. One such tool is computers.

( )

These models may be used to test different aspects of the design, such as stress on the structure; this type of testing is known

as finite element analysis (FEA). FEA can examine the stress on a structure as it is tested under different conditions, including

ideal weather on a sunny day, hot, cold, and stormy days, and different elevations. Computer simulations have allowed

engineers to test the proposed designs and make changes before construction begins. Also, estimates of how much

materials will cost are available before the work begins, saving both materials and labor.

By understanding the principles of engineering, engineers are able to use mathematics to solve complex problems.

Computer-aided design (CAD) programs are used to develop virtual models of the proposed structure.

Bridge design is a process that begins with an understanding of the physics of a structure.

Architects and engineers work together to design buildings that are safe and efficient.
