Bridge

The Truss Bridge by Riley and Dustin We decided to go with different types of truss bridges so that we will have a strong bridge. The truss bridges is one of the quickest bridges to put up and also is the cheapest so is could also be one of the strongest kinds of bridges. The position of the bars give it a great strength so it can hold a great amount of traffic. The unique triangle design of the bridge truss allows it to span longer

New York's Brooklyn Bridge is not only the longest bridge in the United States, but it is also the world's largest bridge. The length of the bridge is calculated as 6016 feet. The bridge extends over the East Rive and connects the Manhattan and Brooklyn boroughs. History John Augustus Roebling from Ohio was the architect of this bridge. He was the one who designed the bridge connecting Cincinnati and Covington. The bridge was built in 1883 and took almost 14 years to become available for the public

I decided to make a warren truss bridge for this project (Wikipedia, 2015). This type of bridge uses equilateral triangles to help bare tension or compression forces that the bridge may undergo (Mudaliar, 2015). I picked this design because it is a popular bridge design and it will have a smaller mass then some other bridge designs. This design has the potential to be very efficient in the amount of weight it can hold because of it being lighter than other designs. The one problem you have to solve

have been provided by the government is the pedestrian bridge. A pedestrian bridge or footbridge is a bridge constructed for pedestrians and sometimes for cyclists and bikers as well. It reduces the conflicts of traffic flow between the pedestrians and the vehicles by separating them. Hence, it helps in overcoming accidents and offers safety. However, due to the added travel distance, most of the pedestrians normally avoid using these bridges. This in turn, adds to traffic congestion and accidents

railways led to proposals for bridging the St. Lawrence River. Quebec Bridge has a long story behind it, a bridge that was proposed first back in 1852 but it was not complete until 1919. It collapsed two times in this duration once in 1907 killing 75 workers and second time in 1916 killing 13 workers. In this report I will emphasize on the first collapse. In ASCE meeting, the chief engineers of Quebec Bridge Company and the Phoenix Bridge Company, Edward Hoare and John Sterling Deans, reached an agreement

ABSTRACT This is model and a simplified version of Kattwyk Bridge and has been made under the constraints of space, time and resources available in the lab. The Bridge mechanism has been divided in three sections. The central section lifts above, while the two side parts remain intact with the supporting angles. The lift mechanism used for the bridge is based on the pulley system involving three pulleys. A string is passed through the two pulleys on either side of middle section and the pulley at

The Newspaper bridge project is a project where students are given the challenge to make a bridge using newspaper, straws, and tape. Each material has a price. 1 sheet of paper $10, 1 straw $1, and 10 cm of tape $2. Students were given the challenge to make a bridge only using $25 of materials. In this essay, I will be explaining the process which my group constructed our bridge for this project. And answer the question; How to construct a newspaper bridge that will hold the most weight and is

A beam or "girder" bridge is the simplest kind of bridge. In the past they may have taken the form of a log across a stream but today they are more familiar to us large box steel girder bridges. There are lots of different types of beam bridges .A Beam Bridge needs to be stiff. It needs to resist twisting and bending under load. In its most basic form, a beam bridge consists of a horizontal beam that is supported at each end by piers. The weight of the beam pushes straight down on the piers. Under

US 212 bridge with a new bridge. We will discuss the design loads that will be used, as well as the different designs and sizes of possible bridges. The hydraulic and hydrologic analysis process will also be discussed. The time of construction and cost estimations of the bridge option will also be considered during the design process. Design Load Load ratings for the bridge replacement option shall be calculated following the South Dakota Department of Transportation Office of Bridge Design

The Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Washington State had taken three years to complete its building process. It experienced a terrible fate as it collapsed only four months after final construction. During its short existence only vertical vibrations of the bridge were noticed, and the bridge became famously known as “Galloping Gertie” due to the swaying of the roadway under high wind conditions. A positive correlation was observed between the wind’s speeds and the bridge’s vibrations in certain tests,
