The beam itself must be strong so that it doesn't bend under its own weight and the added weight of crossing traffic.
When a load pushes down on the beam, the beam's top edge is pushed together (compression) while the bottom edge is stretched (tension).
Pre-stressed concrete is an ideal material for beam bridge construction; the concrete withstands the forces of compression well and the steel rods imbedded within resist the forces of tension.
We compared their abilities in different situations such as complex mazes and light seeking tests to see which one performed and adapted better.
I know there are so many good tutorials and other info out there on small BEAM sites (even large ones) that never gets seen when so many people could benifit from it.
There are now 50+ BEAM links as well as many other links to circuit sites, suppliers, and more.
