Do you prefer walking across a flat or arched type design?

[Hypercase]

We're doing a project for my engineering tech class, and i need to conduct a survey, we'd be really obliged if u could answer the survey questions.
1. When thinking about bridges, what is the first bridge that to your mind?
2. Why?
3. If crossing a bridge, do you look over the edge?
4. Is a safe looking bridge important to you?
5. What material surface do you like walking on?
6. Do you prefer walking across a flat or arched type design?
7. What is your favourite colour?
8. Would you like to see an innovative design?
9. Would you consider using a bridge as a hang-out spot?
10. Would you like the bridge to have seating facilities?

Also if u could mention ur age it would help us in compiling the data better.

4. Of course!

6. No preference, whichever is least likely to break and send me to my death.

8. Only if it's also revolutionary
9. Absolutely not
10. Not particularly, but so long as they would not interefere with my bridge-traversing capabilities, I would not object.

1. London Bridge.
2. Because of that godforsaken nursery rhyme that I was force-fed.

9. Definately not.
10. I don't exactly see the point; but it wouldn't hurt.

1. The Tacoma Narrow Bridge

2. It was a disaster due to engineers who designed the bridge not being able to calculate the possibility of resonance/oscillation due to small input of wind force.

3. Yes

4. Let's just say I wouldn't cross ANYTHING that swung great vertical distances like the Tacoma Bridge.

5. Hard, concrete cement reinforced with wires.

6. Arched. They give a more classical roman-era feel

7. Red/yellow

8. As long as it's cost-efficient & practical

9. No. Too many cars=loud noises

10. Definitely.

16 yrs-old as of 2004.

It's an interesting example of resonance in action.

1. An arc style
2. I guess its because its very common?
3. Yes?
4. Yes, if its a bridge only Indiana Jones would cross I wouldn't?
5. Carpeting, but that wouldn't be reasonable for an outdoor bridge
6. Definitly flat
7. For a bridge... maybe one of those paint jobs where it changes color depending on what angle you are from the bridge.
8. Definitly
9. Definitly
10. Definitly

I am 12 years of age though I am in the 10th grade and this is my out of 90, this is my 3rd post in this forum. I reside mostly in the quantum physics, classical physics, General Physics, Atoms, Molecules, & Solids, Michio Kaku's and Nuclei & Particles forums.

1. A typical straight grey bridge with a small curve like one you would find on a country road. It didn't have guardrails for some reason either.
2. I live in a small area and I also read a lot of medieval fan-fiction, which could account for the bridge having no rails.
3. Almost always, I like the view below.
4. Not really, inless it looks clearly dangerous to go on.
5. I like a hard stone rather than a pavement.
6. A slightly arched design is fun.
7. My favorite color is dark blue.
8. Innovative designs are always nice. Sure.
9. I wouldn't inless it was a large bridge. I don't like to feel like all the cars are watching me.
10. As long as they didn't interfere with walking and biking, ect. Lines would have to be drawn that symbolize where their feet can't slide anymore.
