3. An infrastructure is a basic physical and organizational structure that assists the progress of the operation of a society or enterprise.Bridges are indispensable infrastructures in the worlds cities and towns where either waterways or land barriers prevents traffic movements to the othe side , introducing significant impact over that regions economics , politics ,culture , communication as well as national defence . Amoung many other type of bridges,truss is a well known bridge as it amalgamates multiple triangles to support humangous loads. They are widely used and are most common with road traffic bridges due to their heavy load capabilities on the other hand the actual roadway can be directly placed on top in case of a truss bridge , which helps to make it easily integrated into the construction process. These types of bridges can be built across small or long spans while maintaining their strength. the momentous fact is that truss bridges are economical.

18. we have just came across through some of the masterpiece desgined by civl engineers.This is just a simple sketch of what a civil engineer is capable of and how they are collaborately working in creating a fesible world and enhance the global quality of life . Although the role of a civil engineer in our society is recondit by average citizens, civil engineers continue to shape the quality of life in a punctilious manner.
