Know the definitions of the words. Do not be too specific, and do not think too much.

If you are too specific, then the bridge will not work at all; if you are too general, then all will work. The key is to practice finding the niche between the two extremes. What I typically do, if time permits, is stay general and thus eliminate one or two answers and then slowly "narrow" the bridge.

use strong glue. I like to connect my bridges with a cross supported by dual picks in a square like form as the formation for my steps. this increases efficiency as well as promotes strong support. Prolly like 100 lbs ++ I guess.

Yeah. And don't forget to take the changing in cross sectional area into account. Most of the time, the maximum shear stress is far greater than the average one.

Like a suspension bridge. Only in CollegeConfidential does a bridge only mean something having to do with SATs...

I use long rods of steel to support my bridge. But the development costs are in the millions.
