Bob the bridge builder stopped to look back at the metal plate he had just fastened, secured and rivited to the upright bridge supports. He was the kind of guy who took great pride in a job well done, if fact his foreman would say Bob became so engrossed in his job and his attention so rivited to his work that it was hard to get him to quit at the end of the day.
One of the weaknesses is that because of its design of two beams supported by varied types of supports on either end, it usually cannot be very long, although there are some exceptions.
A structure for resisting the pressure of water against a bridge. It supports or receives the thrust of part of the arch of the bridge. It absorbs the tensions. It receives the arch at the end of a brdge
Instead of pushing straight down, the load of an arch bridge is carried outward along the curve of the arch to the supports at each end. The weight is transferred to the supports at either end.
There is no great difference between between the two in principlebut,In a Carey foster's bridge there is no end resistance whereas in the case of a metre bridge end resistance afffects our readings.Hence Carey foster bridge is more accurate than metre bridge .Carey foster bridge can also measure low resistance and high resistance but a metre bridge cannot do so.
Either the supports under the bridge or at the end of the bridge (or both) or the archway supporting the bridge or cables attached to the bridge from above.
It means the end of the bridge is at a 42 degree angle from the sun.
The arch bridge spreads load (the weight of the bridge and the traffic on it) from the deck to the abutments (the supports at each end) and into the ground. This creates a lot of compressions.
The word is length. It means the measurement of something from end to end.
A suspension bridge suspends its load from main cables that run along both sides of the structure. The beam bridge is the oldest and most common type of bridge. A beam bridge is a horizontal structure, with beam supports at each end, and piers between the beams.
A word that means no beginning and no end is infinite or infinity.
It means there is already an "s" at the end of the word
Arches are among the oldest forms of structural support. Unlike beam bridges, arch bridges are curved. The arch carries the weight outward along the curve to the supports on each end of the bridge, called abutments. The abutments carry the load and stop the bottom of the bridge from spreading out.
horrendous
The Latin que added to a word means "and". The word finem is the accusative case of the noun finis which means "the end". So finemque means "and the end"
When "less" is at the end of a word, it often means without or lack of that particular thing. For example, "careless" means without care, "helpless" means lacking help, and "endless" means without an end.
it means a end of a word
