NextGen Infrastructure Ltd are designing a new bridge spanning a 100ft gorge, as part of a multi million dollar motorway project. They need to choose materials that can withstand twisting forces that will be experienced by the structure due to high winds and its exposed location.

What is the ability of a material to resist these forces called?

• Torsional Strength

• Bending Strength

• Compressive Strength

• Shear Strength

The bridge is supported by a large concrete pillar, reinforced with steel, that sits in the middle of the bridges length. A huge amount of weight is acting upon the foundations of this pillar. What property must the material supporting the pillar have in order to stay structurally secure?
