Who or what would use the cantilever bridge?

What objects under tension?

tension is the opposite of compression, so it would be anything pulling in an object; cables on a bridge, a zipline, even when you reach out to grab something! there is so many things that are under tension or compression that are all around us.


What kind of situations would be suitable for a cantilever bridge?

long steaches of water


How the golden gate bridge gets its strength discuss forces like tension compression and torsion?

because when there is traffic( live load) driving over the bridge it causes the bridge to compress and normall would break but with suspeision cables it takes the load off the road and distributes it through the cables which demonstrate tension


Where can a cantilever mount be bought?

There are many places where one would be able to purchase a Cantilever mount. One would be able to purchase a Cantilever mount from sites such as Amazon or eBay.


What tower supports a bridge cable?

In a standard suspension bridge the cables are supported by a Bridge Pylon or series of bridge pylons. The cables are supported upon these pylons and they serve to reduce the tension forces that would be required at the cable anchorages had the cables simply been installed straight across the bridge span.


How do you calculate the bending moment for a cantilever slab?

Max BM for a cantilever would be @ the point of support and would be equal to WL/2 where W=wL Max BM for a cantilever would be @ the point of support and would be equal to WL/2 where W=wL Edit- As said above the max bending moment for a cantilever will be at the supportFor a distributed load M=wL2/2 where w=the fractured distributed load and L= the leaver arm For a point loadM=PL where P=the point load and L= the leaver arm *Having a cantilever means you will have reinforcing in the top of the beam/slab till a distance after the beam

What is axial force stress on materials?

In physics:Axial Stress: A tension or compression stress created in a structural member by the application of a lengthwise axial load.Definition Copyright ©1989 CRC Press LLC. All rights reserved.Examples of tensile axial stress include a chain carrying a load and tension cables on a bridge. Examples of compressive axial stress include decorative columns in architecture and the steel structure of a high rise building.


What is is a force that changes rock's shape or volume?

If the rock is in a river it gets smoothed. Those would be the forces of gravity and self weight as well as in-situ stresses which may cause compression, tension or shear.


Why is the Sydney harbour bridge called Sydney harbour bridge?

Arch bridges are one of the world's most ancient bridge forms. The arch gives the bridge its essential strength. Between the engineer of the Sydney Harbour bridge, Ralph Freeman, and the designer, JCC Bradfield, this was seen as the best option for the purpose. Freeman felt that since the purpose of the bridge was to cross a wide harbour which often saw some fairly wild weather, the arch shape would be the most stable. Originally, the bridge's designer, JCC Bradfield, proposed a suspension bridge, then a cantilever bridge, which was the first proposal accepted. After that, Bradfield turned his sights towards an arch bridge, after travelling overseas and seeing the developments in light steel which made a steel arch bridge such a possibility.
