Bridges and Tunnels

By the way, we have the tallest bridge that supports cars to go over it, but Colorada beats us with being the tallest bridge(not a bridge that supports cars). New River Gorge Bridge is still a better bridge though ;3.

Groundbreaking for the George Washington Bridge began in October 1927. The upper level of the bridge was finished on October 24, 1931, while the lower level was finished a little more than 30 years later, on August 29, 1962.

heat escapes from 2 major places, your head and your feet, the padding on your feet trap the heat in your feet, while the hair are your head traps the heat from escaping there

The Truss bridge was invented in the 1980s

The VZ Narrows in Staten Island, New York.

$13.00 for Cars.

This is a high toll, but the VZ bridge is neither the most expensive not the one with the highest toll. The Great Belt Bridge in Denmark has a toll for medium-size cars of 30 Euros, around 45 dollars. The Bay Bridge in San Francisco, when rebuilt, is generally considered the most expensive.

Most of the circuits comprising of electronic components run on dc supply..

As DC supply is not available directly for us, we use either 230/12V or 230/18V transformer to stepdown the available 230V (in some countries it is 110v) and then convert it into dc using a rectifier.

As a bridge rectifier is more efficient than a conventional full wave rectifier, about 81.2%, it is widely used in such type of circuits.

One segment goes out, you replace the whole thing. They tend to build up a little extra heat since they're all crammed into a single package.

To avoid problems, use a bridge that will only run at half capacity. Meaning, if your device is pulling 1 amp, use a 2 amp bridge.

And USE A HEAT SINK!!! and don't forget the heat sink grease.

Ponte Fabricio in Rome, build about 62 BC, still existing in its original state.

Less impressive than the Ponte Fabricio, the Mycenaean Arkadiko Bridge in Greece is over 3000 years old.

by noticing the polarity of theohmmeter a diode can be checked for continuity and blocking ability However it will not tell you how good or bad the device itself is

BY keeping the multimeter in diode mode and keeping properly the positive and negative terminals of the multimeter. If the diode is good multimeter will show a reading of 0.5 else there will be a short.

The Arch was invented by the Romans. It makes a very sturdy construction, while making it lighter, and using less materials than the standard way of building. The weight of the story above resting on the top of the arch is transferred down each leg to the ground, instead of pressing on the lower story. The Arch is also what makes a Dome. Just think of 360 arches running through a common point at the top. The entire weight of the Dome is transferred to the walls of the building, and down into the ground.

Civil engineering covers a broader spectrum. Civil engineering students study Structural engineering, water engineering, Geotechnical engineering (soil mechanics) and Traffic and Transport engineering. With a civil engineering degree, graduates have the opportunity to and are qualified to work in any of the above fields, or they can persue further studies in one particular area, and therefore obtain more thorough and specific qualification in that area, such as structural engineering.

'The Bridge Over The River Kwai' is actually the title of the novel. The film version was called 'The Bridge on the River Kwai'

The film adaptation stars William Holden (as US Navy Commander Shears), Alec Guinness (Lieutenant Colonel Nicholson), Jack Hawkins (as Major Warden) and Sessue Hayakawa (as Colonel Saito).

The Tacoma Narrows Bridge was built in a location with high winds. High velocity winds can create an aerodynamic instability called flutter. Flutter may be mitigated by a stiff structure. That bridge was very flexible in torsion (more commonly known as twist). There were many warning signs of a disaster - the bridge had wild oscillations in high winds many times before it collapsed.

If you ever see a video of a stop sign rotating about its post in a hurricane, as often done by on scene news crews, the phenomenon is completely analogous. Of course, during "normal" winds, the stop sign would not flutter - during the hurricane the wind speed exceeds the speed when we see the onset of flutter.

All aircraft are designed to ensure the maximum speed of the aircraft is below the speed at the onset of flutter for its wings and other lifting surfaces. Here as well, the wing design may be stiffened if required to raise the flutter onset speed.

After the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapsed, many bridge designs were reviewed by engineers to ensure they would not have the same fate. The Whitestone Bridge, which crosses the East River from Queens to the Bronx in New York, was one that was stiffened by side bracing to raise the torsional stiffness and remove the concern about flutter. To my knowledge, that bridge was never subject to winds at a high enough speed in its pre-stiffened state to induce severe oscillations like those seen on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.

The Nugget Bridge is in Kanto. It is situated north of Cerulean City, leading also to Routes 24 and 25.

In 1811 Palmer built the first American covered bridge over the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia. This was a continuous three-span arch truss consisting of two 150-foot spans and one 195-foot span. It is recorded that the city bridge committee in­sisted that the heavy timbers be covered with a roof and siding to preserve and protect the structure from weathering. The bridge thus became known as the Permanent Bridge

By winning the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, Constantine became the ruler of the Western Roman Empire. He defeated Maxentius. The story is that on the evening before the battle, he saw a cross burning in the sky, and written underneath it were the words, "In hoc signe vinces" or "In this sign you will conquer." Immediately, he had crosses put on the shields of all his soldiers, and, after winning the battle, converted to Christianity, ultimately making Rome a Christian Empire as opposed to a Pagan one, as it had been for centuries.

There are seven bridges crossing the river tyne between Gateshead and Newcastle Millenium Bridge(pedestrians and cyclists), Tyne Bridge(road), Swing Bridge(road), High Level Bridge(road and rail also the oldest), Queen Elizabeth II(carries the tyneside metro), King Edward VII(railway only) and Redeugh(road). There are also the Scotswood, Ai dual carriageway and Newburn which cross the river a couple of miles upstream from Newcastle.

Sydney Harbour Bridge.

so short it doesnt have a name

there are so many around neighborhood parks only feet across

Physics is an integral part of structural engineering. Using the concept of moment and force balance, bending moment and shear stress is determined for every structural member. According to value of bending moment and shear stress further designing of member is done like how much cross section, steel, clear cover etc is required. So basically the force/moment balance is the basic physics that civil engineering apply for determining the stresses/moment at each member.

The bridge design was based on New York's Hells Gate Bridge
