  1. The first iron bridge at Ironbridge on River Severn,England was built using the same techniques you’d use for an oak timber bridge. It’s still there 250 years later because cast iron is extremely strong in compression. Just as timber is strong in compression. However make it into plates and any bending moments will shatter the metal.
