Bridge project

job that Eiffel executed his first bridge project. This 72-foot sheet iron bridge was built for the Saint Germaine Railway. Shortly after, Eiffel was able to complete his first major work, which came to be known as the Bordeaux Bridge once he began working for Compagnie Belge. Originally, this opportunity only allowed Eiffel to be in charge of the metalwork that was needed for the execution of the project. Luckily, he was eventually appointed to take over the project once the previous management decided

successfully build a bridge at the lowest price possible, that could hold up the weight of the bridge itself, and the weight of a truck driving on top of it going across without the bridge breaking falling apart. This activity was to help us further understand what structural engineering is like and how to use forces to our benefit to build and create a rigid structure. Design Brief The purpose of this bridge should be to make it efficient, safe, and, durable. The bridge may cross the valley

Introduction The objective of the project is to design a bridge made from commercial pasta that is able to withhold a weight of 1134 grams (2.5 pounds) over a period of five minutes. Upon evaluation, the efficiency will be taken into consideration for the overall result. This makes choosing a design and craftsmanship crucial to the overall performance. The given constraints really makes it challenging however they have to be followed and considered before beginning the preliminary stages of designing

Kaylie Griffin and I chose to build the Clifton Suspension Bridge. The Clifton Suspension Bridge is a suspension bridge located in Bristol, United Kingdom. A suspension bridge is a type of bridge which the deck is supported by cables that hang vertically off larger cables or hangers. Suspension bridges typically have two towers and are anchored to abutments at their ends.The towers help to support much of the weight that crosses the bridge’s deck, such as cars and people. The towers also dissipate

the Washington State Department of Transportation began construction on a series of improvement to I-90, a key interstate that connects eastern and western Washington. The project includes many measures to improve traveler safety and efficiency such as avalanche bridges, expanded lanes, straightened curves, and replacement bridges (WSDOT-I-90-Snoqualmie Pass East, 2016). However, in addition to those changes, they are also adding controversial wildlife crossing structures to the interstate that are

A simple bridge truss was the first structure I ever analyzed. The simple combination of beams that could hold cars, trains, and trucks over long spans of water fascinated me. Having the tools to analyze the loads on the truss further increased my interest in structures. I encountered the bridge in a textbook for my first engineering class. Knowing that the professor, Mr. Paul Davids, was a tough teacher, I asked him for the textbook so I could study and get ready for the class over the summer.

Several students are doing Science Fair projects at Woodstock Middle School and I am one of the seventh grade students. The topic I shall be doing is on how bridge structure affects the weight bearing capacity. I chose this specific topic to guide bridge builders in the right direction on what bridge is safest for public use. The key topics I plan to research on include the following: Beam, Warren Truss, suspension, cable-stayed, and arch bridges. I shall use the scientific method to guide me

The Eiffel Tower is one of the most well-known structures in the world. Along with the Eiffel Tower, Eiffel created many structures that are famous and innovative, like the Maria Pia in Portugal and Bon Marché Department Store. He also helped with the structural integrity of the Statue of Liberty. Eiffel’s father put him in a prestigious school in Paris. Although his interests were heavily influenced by his father, Eiffel found his niche in structural engineering, and he flourished in that niche

During the period after the collapse of the I-35W BRIDGE in Minnesota, the National Cooperative Highway Reset Program(NCHRP) published a synthesis about bridge management system and decision making that need to be applied across the country. The collapse has awakened public and private agencies in charge so that they begun a new era characterized by paying much attention on their career. A synthesis made by The National Cooperative Highway Reset Program (NCHRP) and lead by Markow and Hyman showed

Science Questions Identify and discuss the design elements that you incorporated into your bridge. Design Elements: While building this bridge, the first design element, was the deck design. We took around one horizontal length of vertical popsicle sticks and lined them side by side, and repeated. Later we connected them together with a horizontal popsicle stick. I then took two lines and placed them ontop of eachother to create a flat surface. This way it will carry a lot of weight, and it will
