probably, if you study the slideshows
Why did the I-35 W bridge in Minneapolis collapse?
the i-35W bridge collapsed because there was to much structural stress on the bridge at the time, when the bridge collapsed it was rush hour time so there was to much weight on the bridge. ^^^NO! the bridge collapsed because the design was flawed. the gusset plate that failed was too thin for the loading. this was the engineers error, hence the lawsuit.
What is a sentence for the word structured?
The structural support of the bridge is old, and might collapse at any minute.
Do jellyfish have bones in thear boddy?
No, jellyfish do not have bones in their body. Instead of a backbone they have mesoglea, or a gelatinous substance that acts as a structural support in water, but if they get washed up on the shore, their bodies will collapse.
What is an Arches?
In architecture, an arch is a structural feature, usually of masonry and usually having a keystone which prevents the collapse the curved structure by distributing the force of gravity into lateral pressure. it is also something on a bench
How t did the Berlin wall served as the catalyst for the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe?
It didn't. The catalyst for the collapse of communism was Hungary's decision to open their border. So many professionals, like doctors and engineers, escaped to the West after they did this that the Warsaw Pact nations liberalized their political systems to keep any more of them from leaving.
Do buildings and homes cave in during a tornado?
Yes. Buildings and homes can collapse in a tornado. One common way this happens is the roof comes off, causing the walls to become unstable. Depending on the strength of the structure this would take and EF2 or EF3 tornado for partial collapse, and likely an EF4 for complete collapse. In an extremely powerful tornado such as a high EF4 or EF5 houses are blown away rather than collapse. Weak tornadoes usually do not cause significant structural damage.
How did al-Qaeda make The World Trade Center buildings fall?
They crashed an airliner into each building. The impact and resulting fire weakened the core of the buildings; they lost their structural integrity and this made them collapse.
What is the use of dado panels in aircraft?
They are spring closed panels in the floor to side wall junction. They open at .5 psid in case of rapid decompression to minimize floor collapse and overall structural damage.
What is a collapse plot?
A collapse plot is a visual representation used in failure analysis to show stress as a function of deformation leading to structural collapse. It typically displays the load-carrying capacity of a structure against its corresponding deformations until failure occurs. These plots help engineers analyze how and when a structure fails under different loading conditions.
Why do engineers design bridges with expansion slotsions?
Because bridges expand and contract with the change in temperature. The expansion joints allow the bridge to 'flex' as the temoerature rises and falls, ensuring the structure doesn't buckle or collapse.
Is collapsed an abstract noun?
The noun 'collapse' is an abstract noun when it refers to the failure of something abstract (an emotional collapse, the collapse of the Soviet Union).The noun 'collapse' is a concrete noun when it refers to the failure of a physical structure (a mine collapse, a bridge collapse).
