    1) A bridge engineer would select a site with stable soil conditions, adequate space for approaches, minimal environmental impact, and low risk of natural disasters when choosing a location for a new bridge. 2) Bridge designers consider factors like structural strength, durability, and maintenance requirements to ensure bridges can withstand loads and environmental conditions without failing over their design life. 3) Site investigations for bridges involve collecting data on soil conditions, hydrology, geology and other environmental factors to inform the design.

    Answer the following questions.


    1. Suppose you are bridge engineer and one construction company ask you to select suitable
    site for bridges. So which type of site you select for the company?
    2. If the bridge fails, the transportation system will not be in a position to give function, for
    that what are the controlling factors followed by designer?
    3. Write briefly about the data collections and explain one of it
    4. When we say site investigation for bridges what does it means?
    5. When we select site for bridges skewedness should be avoided. What is the problem if
    skewedness not avoided?
    6. In this first stage of design, the highway engineer identifies a preferred location for the bridges
    and decides on the type, size and capacity of the structure. Write the factors he considers during
    this decisions.
