Cause of the deaths at Tunnel Creek. Management: While it is true that there are many disasters where an “act of nature” occurs but‚ we believe most of accidents can be caused by human error. Same as “Avalanche at Tunnel Creek”. In perspective of “blinders’ decision”‚ they failed to see/seek/use information. It was obvious the group at Tunnel Creek were well-trained and knowledgeable skiers but they didn’t prepare equipment that was necessary and wasn’t trained on how to get down safely beforehand

Truss Bridge Physics 141 Robin Hoffmeister There is many reason that we need bridges in every day of our life‚ from sufficient means to pass over a roadway‚ waterway‚ railway‚ or other structure. You don’t even think about them because it takes no effort to get over them and they are just there for your use. So if you don’t think of them for everyday use I highly doubt that you would think of the physics that is involved in putting one together or the kind of force the bridge can actually

At first the purpose of the passage “Owls” by Mary Oliver is difficult to pinpoint. This is because Oliver begins with describing the penetrating fear of a “terrible” (33) great horned owl‚ and suddenly develops into a section discussing a desultory and trivial field of flowers. The mystifying comparison between the daunting fear of nature and its impeccable beauty is in fact Oliver’s purpose. Oliver uses hyperbole in her lyrical and poetic diction to convey her true feelings about nature. She

In Delany’s article "Pilgrim at Topanga Creek”‚ Boyle makes a social commentary about possible causes and solutions for the immigration problem through further development of coyotes as a symbol for immigrants. This is my favorite example because it ties so many different aspects of the novel together with the metaphor. On the surface‚ Delany describes coyotes in his article as “our cleverest and most resourceful large predator” (p.211). He claims that they are able to take advantage of the resources

John Roebling‚ the creative genius behind the Brooklyn Bridge project‚ had first envisioned it in 1852 after having witnessed the horrible delays caused by the East River choked with ice. However‚ because of suspicions among the public of whether a bridge that would have to be wide enough to allow boats to pass under it and strong enough to sustain the terrible winds and powerful currents of the river was possible‚ the project seemed unrealistic. The winter of 1866/1867‚ which was one of the worst

“The Old Man at the Bridge” by Ernest Hemingway An old man with steel rimmed spectacles and very dusty clothes sat by the side of the road. There was a pontoon bridge across the river and carts‚ trucks‚ and men‚ women and children were crossing it. The mule- drawn carts staggered up the steep bank from the bridge with soldiers helping push against the spokes of the wheels. The trucks ground up and away heading out of it all and the peasants plodded along in the ankle deep dust. But the old man

the project is to build a truss that would be able to take a specific amount of downward force remarkably with respect to the weight of the truss itself‚ i.e. to construct a truss that would hold a relatively high efficiency score. And construct the bridge in such a way to as to keep the deflection of the structure at minimal. Introduction First of all‚ what is a truss? In an engineering view‚ a truss is a structure that is made up of series of triangular unit made of straight members that are connected

Constraints: The bridge must span a 55cm gap No more than 100 popsicle sticks may be used The sticks may not be cut Only white glue may be used Construction paper may be used for the deck only The test load is applied to a 4cm-wide section at the top of the arch. The test jig looks like this: (Well-built bridges can support over
