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

building a bridge out of popsicle sticks and elmer's glue, I designed and built a truss bridge. Once completed, it weighed 237 grams, and spanned 26 inches, with a height of 7.25 inches. When the bridge was tested, at 26 pounds of pressure, it began to buckle. The top support near the middle of the bridge on one side caved in, and as the weight increased, more of the top supports collapsed. At 47.3 pounds of pressure, the bridge snapped in half. By the end of the testing, the bridge had lost all

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

research paper i will be talking about bridges and their importance to the world today. I will also go into detail on how bridges were in the past and how the first bridges were made by nature. I will compare bridges from the past to how technology has changed the way bridges are built today in the modern era. The more we advance in technology the more ca-pabilities we have too make bridges that support so much more weight. As the improvements are made bridges are just becoming safer and more reliables

The article, The Cult of Womanhood: 1820 - 1860 written by Barbara Welter discusses the philosophy towards women in America during the mid 19th century. A set of demands and expectations based upon four principles: piety, purity, submission and domesticity were placed on women as well as certain behavioral expectations left 19th century women feeling guilty. It also left women feeling this way during the industrialization period as well as having a huge presence of incompatibility with society

Suspension bridges were important before 1940 and are still important today. Major cities such as San Francisco, and Manhattan both have a suspension bridge. Suspension bridges are,” a bridge having a deck suspended from cables anchored at their extremities and usually raised on towers” (dictionary.com). Due to the fact that suspension bridges are not completely supported throughout the length of the bridge, past bridges were unsafe. For example, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge was a suspension bridge

between the magnificent arches of the Golden Gate Bridge; my father’s old 4RUNNER cuts through the intimidating fog like a hot knife through butter. It is August 28th, 2012; the first day at my new school, Stuart Hall for Boys. My heart flutters as the pistons of my father's car drive me into the unknown. That day the Golden Gate Bridge was my desert, my limbo, my passage from Pharaoh’s reign into The Promise Land.

As Professor Farquharson’s studies progressed, modifications on the bridge continued. Tie-down cables were positioned on the bridge’s sides and wires were stretched diagonally across the bridge’s deck and main cables. Thus, the problem was believed to be solved. However, one of the reinforcing tie-down cables, placed only a month prior, snapped due to high speed winds on November 1. The date of this malfunction marks the start of a week-long series of unfortunate events ultimately leading to the

The $23 million Goodwill Bridge gives a person on foot and bike a crossing over the Brisbane River. The most unmistakable component of the 470m long engineering composed extension is the 102m double curve arch between the south bank of the waterway and the primary structure amidst the Brisbane River. Foundation tasks are normally planned and built utilizing entrenched points of reference. The Goodwill Bridge is an unordinary bit of framework in that the type of the structure was vigorously impacted
