golden gate bridge
Abstract
The Golden Gate Bridge is a well-recognized landmark in the United States. This report provides you numerous information about one of the most astonishing suspension bridges in the world, it as well enlighten you with the history, design and the way that they have managed how to maintain the safety while construction was going on. The idea of a bridge linking the city with its neighbouring counties was appealing, but the mile-wide gap between San Francisco and Marin presented huge challenges. There will be many specialist engineers reading this report, they are; site managers, senior engineers, construction manager and project manager. This report was required by Mr Jonathon Stegen, lecture ACK, Kuwait. It was submitted on the 11th December 2013. It was not easy to get the project started. Financing had to be found, and there was much opposition to the very idea of a bridge. Charles A. Ellis with Strauss, a Chicago bridge engineer designed the bridge Architect lrving F. Morrow. On January 5, 1933: Construction started officially. A suspension bridge has two types of parts. The tower is analysed using loads and deflection, which are determined from the global structure analysis previously described. In a suspension bridge, the traffic-carrying deck is supported by a series of wire ropes that hang from massive cables draped between tall towers. During construction of the anchorages, a large wrought iron eye-bars (steel bars with a circular hole at one end) linked together to form a chain which are embedded in the concrete. Work began in dry-docks with the assembly of doughnut-shaped cylinders of steel. At the same time the two towers, the highest ever built for a suspension bridge, were started. The cables were constructed high in the air using a process called cable spinning. To spin the cables, workers pulled a wire, about as thick as a pencil, from the concrete anchorage at one shore, up and over both towers, and on to the other anchorage. The
