A structure is something made with many
parts, l i ke a house, a schoot, or a bri dge.
It can be made of different materials like
bricks, concrete, glass, wood, or metal. A super
structure is very big, very [ong, or very tat[.

\We
use tunnels for
mines, trains, and road traffic, or to carry
things like gas or water. Tunnels are usually
made of metal and concrete.
One of the longest tunnels in the world
is the Seikan Tunnel in
Japan.
It's nearly
54 kilometers long! It goes between two
islands. It was built because it's too dangerous
to travel by boat.The tunnel is for trains, but
now many people prefer to travel by plane.
One of the longest road tunnels is the
Laerdal Tunnel in Norway. The tunnel
is nearly 25 kilometers long and it goes
through a mountain. It was built because
there's too much snow on the mountain
roads in winter.
Bridges go over water or overground.
On a beam bridge, the pillars carry the deck.
One of the longest beam bridges is the
Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in the USA.
This bridge is about 38 kilometers long and
it has over 91000 concrete pillars. It goes
over water and carries road traffic.

On a suspension
l-rridge, the cables and
towers carry the deck.
'l'hc
anchorages hold
thc cabl es.
Suspension bridges move a little when it's windy.

\(Ihen there isn't much ground,
we can build tall buildings.
Very tall buildings are called
skyscrapers. The first skyscraper
was the Home Insurance Building.
It was built in Chicago in the
USA i n 1885. It was 42 meters
tall. The tallest skyscrapers are
now much taller than this.
The Petronas TWin Towers in
I(uala Lumpur in Malaysia are
the tallest twin buildings. There
is a bridge between the two
towers called a skybridge.
One of the tallest skyscrapers
is the Burj Dubai.. It's in Dubai
in the United Arab Emirates.
It' s 818 meters tal l
-
that' s
nearly a kilometer! It's made
of a special, strong concrete
called reinforced concrete.
The Burj Dubai has apartments'
shops, swimming pools, hotels,
restaurants, and a librarY.
It's like a very tall town!
