These bridges are able to maintain their equilibrium through their own design and engineering, making them resilient to changes in load or conditions.

Old man at the bridge?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In this short story Ernest Hemingway uses a lot of metaphors and symbols. One of the symbols is the bridge, which represents uncertainty and dangers. Those are the feelings most of the people have during wartime. In contrast to this stands the fact that the story takes place on Easter Sunday, a holiday that stands for hope and the faith in God. The feelings of the refugees probably stand in the same contrast. On the one hand they feel very frightened and worried, but on the other hand they do not want to lose hope. The animals also stand for different qualities. The pigeons, for example, represent peace and harmony and the fact that they fly away, away from the war, maybe is a reference to the refugees who flee from the war to a safer place. The cat, being a symbol of independence, does not need anybody to survive, but the goat is often used as a sacrificial animal and this probably represents the old man and his situation. Like a goat which is sacrificed, the old man's fate is sealed.

Why was the sdney harbor bridge built?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Sydney Harbour Bridge had its beginning when engineer John Bradfield was appointed chief engineer of the bridge project in 1912. Working with him was Ralph Freeman, London-born engineer. The plans were finished in 1916, but because of World War I, no further work was done until 1922. At this time, the path and foundations for the bridge had to be completed, with up to 800 families living in the path of the proposed Bridge path being relocated, and their homes demolished. The bridge began to be actually constructed in 1924. During the eight years it took to build the Sydney Harbour Bridge, 1400 men were employed, 16 of whom lost their lives. The bridge cost £4.2 million to build.

The famous arch of the Sydney Harbour Bridge (popularly nicknamed The Coathanger) was built in two halves. Each half cantilevered from either shore of Sydney harbour and was tied back by steel cables anchored into U-shaped tunnels dug into the rock. The two halves of the arch were begun towards the end of 1928, and joined around 10pm on 19 August 1930.

The bridge was officially opened on 19 March 1932 by New South Wales Premier, the Honourable John T Lang. However, just as he officially declared the Bridge open, Captain Francis De Groot of the political group The New Guard charged on his horse and slashed the ribbon with his sword in protest. The objection was based on the fact that the Governor-General Sir Isaac Isaacs had not been asked to open the bridge. After De Groot was arrested, the ribbon was retied, and Lang completed the opening ceremony. This was followed by a 21-gun salute and a RAAF fly-past.

Who was the architect of the Sydney Harbour Bridge?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Tenders were invited in 1923 in accordance with general plans and specifications prepared by Dr J.J.C. Bradfield, Chief Engineer, Sydney Harbour Bridge and Railway Construction. The plans and specification provided the alternatives of a cantilever bridge or an arch bridge. Twenty proposals were received from six different companies for various types of design, including suspension bridges not covered by Dr Bradfield's specification. The tender of Dorman Long and Co. Ltd., of Middlesborough England for an arch bridge was accepted, the design being substantially in accordance with one of Dr Bradfield's proposals. The detailed design was carried out by the Contractor's Consulting Engineer, Sir Ralph Freeman, and the fabrication and construction were under the direct charge of Mr Lawrence Ennis, a director of the firm. The design and the construction of the bridge were supervised at all stages by Dr. Bradfield and his staff. (Source Roads and Trafic Authority NSW) Link Below
