Tension is ...
The action of twisting one end of an object/material relative to the other end.
The strength a material has to resist being pulled apart. If you glue something to the ceiling, the weight of the object tests the glue’s tensile strength.
A material is in compression when its particles are being pushed together.

This bridge has an arc shape with supports at each end. This bridge has materials put in compression.
Beam Bridge
Arc Bridge
Suspension Bridge
Cable-stayed Bridge
This type of bridge uses steel plates or super-strong steel cables. The cables work by putting material in tension.
Beam Bridge
Arc Bridge
Suspension Bridge
Cable-stayed Bridge
This type of bridge is made of wood, iron, steel or concrete. Parts of the material for this bridge are in tension and parts are in compression.
Beam Bridge
Arc Bridge
Suspension Bridge
Cable-stayed Bridge
This type of bridge carry a combination of compression and tension forces and is less bulky (heavy) than other types of bridges.
Beam Bridge
Arc Bridge
Truss Bridge
Cable-stayed Bridge
This type of bridge are held up by cables that are put in tension. This bridge uses less cables than other bridges and the towers holding the cables are shorter.
Beam Bridge
Arc Bridge
Truss Bridge
Cable-stayed Bridge
A stationary framework of interconnecting materials that can endure forces such as gravity, wind, mass, and pressure is called a _________.
structure
vehicle
computer program
