Across
  1. 6. A method used to study the behaviour of structures under complex loading using computational models[10]
  2. 7. the main vertical columns that transfer the load of the bridge to the ground, they are placed throughout the span of the bridge[5]
  3. 8. A structural member that transmits loads to columns, and resist bending, horizontal[4]
  4. 9. A structural framework used to support long spans with minimal material[5]
  5. 10. A reinforced concrete shaft at the centre of the building, which is attached to the structural frame to help stability[7,4]
  6. 11. A type of deformation that occurs when a material is subjected to a force perpendicular to its cross-section[7]
Down
  1. 1. longest type of bridge, it is similar to an upside down arch bridge[10]
  2. 2. A structural member that is used to provide structural stability, they usually form triangles between beams and columns[5]
  3. 3. The use of advanced materials like carbon fibres to reinforce structural components[9]
  4. 4. The structural components that connect the bridge to the ground at the ends of the bridge[8]
  5. 5. A specific type of structural member used to resist lateral forces in buildings [9]
  6. 10. The primary load-bearing component of a building’s frame[6]
