I choose the picture of the Natural Bridge Caverns because of how it’s made with all the layers of rocks. I like it the natural bridge caverns because the visitors who travel to go see the Natural Bridge Cavern travel through different layers of different of rocks. And get to look at the different rocks and learn about the history of the rocks and how there all different. What you’ll find out is Glen Pose is the oldest layer of the rocks. The main reason why visitor’s visit the caverns is for the

Ruby Bridges "Two‚ four‚ six‚ eight‚ we don’t want to integrate‚" were the shouting words coming from a mob of racist protesters on Nov. 14‚ 1960 in New Orleans-the day public schools were integrated. These were just some of the words that 6 year old Ruby Bridges heard as she made her way into her new school‚ surrounded by US Marshals. At first‚ she didn’t realize that the harsh words were directed towards her‚ she thought it was Mardi gras. She could not yet conceive how important her bravery was

Objective: To observe the two principal axes in a beam with unsymmetric cross sections; and make comparison between the theoretical and actual behavior in bending of two unsymmetrical section cantilevers: 1. An equal angle with one axis of symmetry. 2. A Z section completely unsymmetrical. Apparatus: Vertical cantilever system‚ dial gauges‚ standard weight‚ hanger‚ cantilever beams of L and Z section. Procedure: 1. Mount up a beam section on the vertical cantilever system and measure

systems Portal frame and skeletal systems consist of linear elements (beams‚ columns) of different shapes and sizes‚ combined to form the skeleton of a building. They are very suitable for buildings‚ which need a high degree of flexibility. This is mainly because of the possibility to use large spans and to achieve open spaces without interfering walls. There are two basic types: The portal frame‚ consisting of columns and roof beams‚ and used for single-storey retail warehousing and industrial manufacturing

Light wooden framed buildings were originally discovered when light partition walls were capable of forming a construction system by themselves. The system consists of timber studs frames assembled on site and tilted vertically or horizontally depending and what is needed. The idea was improved and accelerated with the availability of cheap mass produced nails and properly planed and cut pieces of wood. The first step to building a light timber platform building is to lay foundation walls to support

The short story “Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” by Ambrose Bierce is a narrative about a man from Alabama who is being hung for opposing the northern troops during the Civil war. Bierce effectively breaks the story into three sections each of which concentrates on a different aspect of the situation at hand. Bierce also uses detailed imagery to realistically set up the scene for the story. Most striking of all is the manipulation of time that deceives the reader and results in a surprise ending

The Beringia Theory or commonly called the Land Bridge Theory was mostly composed of the artifacts from the Group of Asians known as the Clovis culture. The people of the Clovis culture were big game hunters that followed their game into North America across the land bridge; the problem with this theory is due to new carbon-dating methods showed that their migration was considerable later then thought.

SCHOOL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING ABSTRACT This report describes a compression test on concrete columns. The main aim of the tests was to illustrate the ultimate strength limit state of reinforced concrete columns in combined bending and compression and to demonstrate the influence of slenderness on the ultimate load capacity. Test methods are described. It was found that the concrete columns exhibited complicated behaviour‚ and had a squash load point of 342.7KN and moment at 0 KN

In An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge‚ Ambrose Bierce narrates the hanging and the moments prior to the hanging of Peyton Farquhar. Peyton Farquhar‚ a rich‚ southern plantation owner‚ is tricked into sabotaging the Union Army. After failing to burn driftwood located near the bridge‚ Farquhar awaits his hanging on the bridge. Bierce’s background adds to the depth and realism of the short story‚ as he himself served with the Ninth Indiana Infantry Regiment‚ an experience that unmistakably carried

Deflection of beams and cantilevers is an important study for clear understanding of behavioral properties of various structural components in aircrafts and around us. Various aircraft structural components such as wing and fuselage ribs and spars (or longerons) require structural analysis for research and cross-examination. Our aim is to study the phenomenal deflection changes experienced during beam and cantilever deflection‚ we will be conducting controlled experiments of various beam materials
