what did i want to write about?
oh yeah about the knowledge on bridges.

I believe to most people nowadays,
Bridges are considered a more difficult subject than buildings.

To me I find it interesting,
Because the basic assumption of support.

Bridges are supported by their abutments, and other parts that make up for a gigantic food that holds entire structures over a certain span.

Buildings on the other hand,
have different types of supports,

They can be strip like structures,
that are walls that are lower than the walls in itself,
They can have footings, which are like foots that go under a structure,

For larger buildings, they are most likely,
piles, amongst them typically a H shape is used.

Not necessarily the I kind, but somewhat an I.
I'm going to assume that at the base of these piles or columns,
Footings can be add, But I don't really know where and on what are things laying around Boston.

There's so much to discover,
Sure I could habit other places, but I really want to haunt around here.
