What else can I help you with?
What type of bridge is the sunshine skyway bridge?
Cable stay. Yes, this is a cable stayed bridge. I actually sold the expansion joints (Waboflex SR4) for this bridge! It is a very impressive bridge.
What is the longest expantion on bridge in the world?
The longest expansion bridge in the world is the Akashi Kaiky Bridge. It spans 1,991 meters and is located in Japan.
Expansion joints are used in bridges in order to prevent the bridge from?
Buckling; shriveling, bending, or curling from heating or pressure. (heating, in this case)
Why do engineers design bridges with expansion slots between the sections?
All materials expand when heated and contract when cooled. Bridges are especially vulnerable because the entire bridge is surrounded by air, and it doesn't have the ground below to act as a heat sink. Without the expansion slots, the bridge would run the risk of buckling when heating, and pulling apart when cooling. This could damage a bridge. Uncontrolled or unsupported cracks, for example in the middle of a span could be very dangerous.
What devices are connected to the north bridge and south bridge?
They are the one who sends data to the processor... The north bridge also the who controls video card,expansion cards or graphics cards and south bridge controls the drives and onboard devices.
How does thermal expansion affect a bridge?
A bridge must have expansion gaps or else they will waver when they expand in warm temperatures. This is thermal expansion
What happens to a bridge's expansion joints on a hot day?
If there is no expansion joints on a bridge and if it's really hot the molecules of the bridge will be separated slowly and the bridge will collapse
A bridge is 2 miles long In the heat of summer the bridge surface expands 2 feet assumethe expansion is concertrated at the center How many feet high is the center of the bridge after the expansion?
102.8
One end of a steel bridge is not fixed to provide for expansion?
to allow for expansion and contraction
Explain the purpose of an expansion joint on a bridge?
The purpose of an expansion joint on a bridge it to permit the components to expand and contract with changing temperatures without stressing the entire bridge structure. Early bridge failure would be the result of building a modern bridge without expansion joints.
An expansion bus always connects to the faster end of the chipset the North Bridge?
No. An expansion bus always connects to South Bridge. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-southbridge.htm
How would changes in temperature would affect a bridge?
Thermal expansion means that the length of the bridge changes.
What type of bridge is the sunshine skyway bridge?
Cable stay. Yes, this is a cable stayed bridge. I actually sold the expansion joints (Waboflex SR4) for this bridge! It is a very impressive bridge.
What is the longest expantion on bridge in the world?
The longest expansion bridge in the world is the Akashi Kaiky Bridge. It spans 1,991 meters and is located in Japan.
Where are expansion slots located on a computer?
expansion slots are the slots that are located on the mother boards of the computer and at the left side of the south bridge.
Why does a bridge has a slit?
If you mean a small gap between two parts of the bridge, these are normally to allow for expansion during hot weather.
Why are some bridges supported by rolles at one side?
Thermal expansion and contraction can put huge stresses into a large structure such as a bridge. To minimise this effect, the rollers are designed to allow the end of the bridge to move with the expansion and contraction.
