Harold Wobber's The Golden Gate Bridge

The clearance below ranges between the lowest point of 11.4 metres and the highest point of 12.7 metres. The arch is 102 metres in length, 10 metres wide, and 15 metres high. The bridge has a total weight of 360 long tons.

A picture of where exactly the bridge is located can be found in appendix A. Aside from the year it was built, not much else is known about the bridge yet if the legends are consulted

were very poor, but somehow, many architectural feats were being made. The U.S. Government was still building the greatest dam in the world before the Depression, the Hoover Dam, which lasted five years to build. It takes a lot of manpower and materials for the Government to build this great dam, so they hired contractors to build it and the The U.S. provides the materials. Men of six companies were hired to build the dam in 7 years or penalties will ensue; the men were called, Six Companies, Inc. Remarkably, the contractors banded together to build the dam because of the immense size of the structure, one contractor cannot do the task alone (America's Experiences). The Dams magnificent feat in becoming USA’s greatest dam inspired the same contracting firm to work on a certain bridge in the west (Hiktzik). During the time Hoover Dam was being constructed, out in the west, another architectural feat was occurring. In 1933 San Francisco, California, construction starts on what will soon to be one of America’s greatest landmarks, The Golden Gate Bridge. One of the bridges architects, Joseph B. Strauss, a man who built many bridges across the U.S., was involved in the bridge project. Strauss and his colleagues had to deal with many problems about the bridge such as people saying it had to be impossible or it was expensive and a hazard to the environment (History.com). Once the bridge was funded with thirty-five million dollars,

The Golden Gate Bridge is 1.7 miles long, connecting San Francisco to the Marin Country, as a symbol of hope after World War I. Moreover the same bridge is also the cause of 46 deaths in 2016. Out of 1,600 bodies recovered from the jump only 25 have been reported as survivors. The 220-foot drop from the bridge creates an image of a quick death that has a 99% fatality rate. Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States and the magnificent Golden Gate Bridge is just one of the many ways people see as a choice of committing suicide.

I feel that the Sundial Bridge is the most successful public sculpture we have in Redding. I feel that the bridge has a lot of mass with it being 700 feet long, 23 feet wide, 217 feet high, and weighing 3.2 million pounds, the Sundial Bridge it rated Redding's top attraction. It is also the first free-standing bridge in the United States.

The Gateway Arch in St. Louis is the tallest man-made national monument in the United States. It is 630 feet wide at its base and stands 630 feet tall. Visitors ride a tram to the observation room at the top. During a nationwide competition in 1947-48, architect Eero Saarinen's inspired design for a 630-foot stainless steel arch was chosen as a perfect monument to the spirit of the western pioneers. Construction of the Arch began in 1963 and was completed on October 28, 1965.The Arch has foundations sunken 60 feet into the ground, and is built to withstand earthquakes and high winds. It sways up to one inch in a 20 mph wind, and is built to sway up to 18 inches.

Sam: A real life bridge that is similar to our household bridge is the Hoffstadt Bridge. The Hoffstadt Bridge is a truss bridge 96 miles south of Seattle Washington. (show picture)This bridge connects Hoffstadt Creek and Hoffstadt Mountain. The Hoffstadt Bridge is 2,340 feet long, or about 712 meters. Similar to our bridge, this bridge is supported by trusses on the bottom. The Hoffstadt Bridge also has a flat deck such as ours.

Have you ever felt like you're up the stream without a paddle or down the bay without any fuel? So have I, except I lived it. And that feeling of, "things can't get any worst" that occasionally follows that other feeling, I lived that too. Weather on the waters of Tampa Bay can change on a dime and aren't very forgiving. One small mistake can snowball into a 2,500 dollar mistake. And that's what happened to me.

"The book is really good, it tells a story about a man who has to blow up a bridge during the spanish civil war. It is a exciting story and a good book to read. The story starts like this: The novel graphically describes the brutality of the civil war in Spain during this time. It is told primarily through the thoughts and experiences of the protagonist, Robert Jordan. It draws on Hemingway's own experiences in the Spanish Civil War as a reporter for the North American Newspaper Alliance.[citation needed]

Smiling is something I do very often and usually when I’m smiling I’m thinking about certain things that make me happy. Things like being in a lab, or when I have on my aunt lab coat. I enjoy being in a hospital being surrounded by others that enjoy what they do like: being a caregiver, a doctor, a friend. I get excited when I walk into a room full of medical instruments or a chemical lab. I like figuring out what chemicals can I mix together to form another chemical compound. Doing chemistry labs make me smile, because I get to be a chemist and create something new.

In the spring of 1989, the construction of the new bridge began. The base of the Trent River was a flotilla of barges carrying the workers, cranes and equipment needed to prepare the temporary pillars that would support the new bridge, as well as maneuver the huge steel girders into place for the new bridge. It was an awesome sight for the entire town, as we watched barges float the steel girders into the harbour, one section being 74 meters in length and two more that were 54 metres each. The new steel box girder bridge had a total length of 182 metres and weighed 2,950 metric tonnes (Anderson & Trenkler, 1991). Temporary cement pillars were poured to support

The motif of time Time is the one thing in life that can go by fast or without warning seconds can seem to turn into hours. The “Owl Creek Bridge” by Ambrose Bierce is a great example on how time can affect so much. In this story a man who is about to be hung imagines his whole escape in his head and what seems to be a long time was only a few seconds. Bierce’s motif on time turns seconds into what seems to be hours using plot structure, characterization, and symbolism. Bierce first uses plot structure in this story as a technique.

Stretching across the San Francisco Bay stands the world famous Golden Gate Bridge. The bridge is located in one of nature’s most beautiful settings, spanning the mile-wide bay from Fort Point in San Francisco to the Marin County Shore. Joseph Strauss, specializing in bridge building, was the leader of the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge. The start of construction began on January 5, 1993 and, after four years, was completed on April 27, 1997. The bridge was needed to be built because of the growing population after the California Gold Rush. The bridge was a difficult task for engineers and is now an inspiration. The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the largest suspension bridges and is well known around the world. The Golden Gate

In the book The Bridge of San Luis Rey, Brother Juniper witnesses the collapse of the San Luis Rey Bridge and the deaths of the five people who were on the bridge when it fell. This disturbs Brother Juniper greatly. He wonders if God intended this, or if it was merely a coincidence. In order to find out if it is coincidence or not, he gains as much information as possible on the five people who fell to their deaths on the bridge. He feels that if he can make a connection between all these people then he can figure out why God made this happen to them out of everyone in the world.

The architectural site I chose was The Golden Gate Bridge located in San Francisco, California. The purpose of The Golden Gate Bridge is to facilitate movement of people and goods across the bay from San Francisco to Marin County, California. I chose this architectural wonder because it is a California landmark. This bridge is a very magnificent experience to walk on, due to its beautiful natural surrounding. I have visited this Bridge in person and drove across it.
