The Hannibal Bridge opened up many opportunities for Kansas City, turning from a small frontier town, into a generous city that outgrew all others in the region. Without railroads, Kansas City’s would eventually be at a great disadvantage due to the lack of north/south connection across the Missouri River. With congressional backing and the support of the Hannibal and St. Joseph, construction on Hannibal Bridge could begin. Engineer and bridge builder Octave Chanute, took over the project and when completed the bridge spanned an impressive quarter of a mile on seven piers sunk deep into the riverbed. Knowing the significance of this bridge, 40,000 people turned out for the festivities. The Hannibal Bridge helped connect Kansas City to Chicago

Yesterday in a rainy Brooklyn night a car crashed in the side of the Brooklyn Bridge late night. Ronald Adams was the man that died in the car accident and a witness was an unknow hitchhiker.

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

Two piers of St. George Island Bridge which are different in the characteristics of the structure, substructure, and in the classification of soil layers, are selected to simulate the barge-pier collision in LS-DYNA. Figure 2(a) shows the elevation view of the St. George Island Bridge in which the location of piers 1 and 3 in the south side of the navigation channel, water level, and the sea bed elevation are presented. Also, Figures 2(b) and (c) demonstrate the dimensions and the elevation of the impact zone, water level, sea bed (mud-line) level, and the soil layers related to piers 1 and 3, respectively. The water level in the location of the Pier-1 is 2.74m above the piles’ cap surface level and the sea bed level is at the same level of

This quote references Bosnia, yet it does not reference the 1992 genocide. In fact, the author of this quote died decades before General Josep Tito, decades before the first rumblings of the fall Yugoslavia, and decades before the first atrocity was committed. In his book, Love Thy Neighbor, Peter Maass includes this quote from Nobel Prize winning Yugoslav author, Ivo

The introduction to the modern era through historical framework of Brooklyn Bridge was very insightful. By situating myself in this time period, in which the bridge was constructed, it became clearer as to why the construction and creation of the bridge in itself can be viewed as monumental. Before exploring the intricacies of the Brooklyn Bridge’s inception, I viewed the bridge mainly as a historical relic. I believe my initial perception of the bridge left me underwhelmed because I was approaching it from a twenty first century point of progress. I think the most important point of progress to my understanding this time period in early modern America, is to try situate myself in the historical context of this time without distorting it with

About eighty years ago, engineers were able to build a bridge on time and within budget with no problem; today, most of the projects take extra time and money to finish. What exactly happened between now and eighty years ago that caused such a drastic shift? It is clearly not the engineers nor the technology; in fact, those have only improved over time. Today, engineers are faced with much more than designing and building the infrastructure, as they were before. They compete with politicians for funds, fight for the safety of workers, and protect our environment by adhering to the numerous laws and acts set forth by the government. In the future, we can only expect more costs, longer time periods for projects, and an increase in costs and

Arthur Miller’s drama A View From the Bridge has been adapted into multiple stage versions, each maintaining the original dialogue and theme, but changing several important aspects making each production unique. First performed in 1955, Miller provides specific stage directions throughout the production to guide each scene so that they connect with the plot. Many modern versions of this play change various pieces such as props, costuming, staging, and direction; however, continue with the original characters, dialogue, and story. Miller’s words and plot shape the play into a dramatic tragedy while the modernistic direction emphasizes the realistic and emotional reasoning behind each sentence. The differences occurring in costuming, portrayal, and setting, occurring between the original written version and the stage adaptation of Miller’s classic play A View From the Bridge, change the perspective and interpretation of how the audience views the drama.

Walt Whitman’s “Crossing Brooklyn Ferry” was written before the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge. It was originally published in 1856 and was titled “Sun Down Poem.” Whitman revised the poem and republished it in the 1860 edition of Leaves of Grass and under its final title, “Crossing Brooklyn Ferry.” Whitman’s final version of the poem was completed in 1881. The Brooklyn Bridge would be completed three years later. The Brooklyn Ferry was how commuters would get from Manhattan to Brooklyn or vice versa before the Brooklyn Bridge was built. This was also the time that the American Civil War was taking place, which was a time when America was deeply divided. Whitman wrote his poem as a message or encouragement of unity and how Americans could

The bridge we have created is ethical in the sense that it has a dependable purpose relative to its location, and its uses. By implementing a floating bridge, in a non-linear terrain in the city of Champong Chnnang it allows for effective, and efficient commute between two villages. This idea allows for the saving of time and money, by not implementing a less efficient method of transportation and trade between the two villages. THIS ISN’T GOOD ENOUGH, LET EDWARD ADD SHIT TO THIS TOO.

A view from the bridge by Cherokee Paul McDonald is written using descriptive writing or spatial organization. This pattern of organization is describing something as it pertains to space or from location. In this essay the writer describes the fish in great detail to the boy. He uses transitional words such as and, then, and by now. This essay is great in just showing how we make judgments about things without realizing what is really happening. In the first part of the essay the man is pacing himself up a hill and comes upon a bridge where he sees a boy standing while fishing. The man keeps on with his pace until he is called by the boy to find his shrimp, which is right by his foot. The man seems very frustrated that the boy calls

The Golden Gate Bridge is “considered to be one of the best and most beautiful examples of bridge design” (Poel and Royakkers 110). Unfortunately, this bridge is also "the US's most popular place to commit suicide" (110). Due to this fact, bridge designers decided that they needed to consider the option of installing some sort of suicide prevention system. Before any decision was made, the ramifications of both implementing a system and not implementing one had to be considered. Deciding whether or not to implement a system calls for an in-depth analysis of the ethics. One must identify the ethical dilemmas present, and provide analysis on the effects on all the stakeholders involved.

Another strange thing about these bridges is their behavior in wind. The suspension bridge has a reputation of swaying in the wind, but how can this be possible with a road on top of it? Surely
