AN OCCURRENCE AT OWL CREEK Upon reading "An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge" by Ambrouse Bierce I immediately found myself pulled into this story from sentence one. The story is both vivid and simplistically complex. Bierce’s telling of this story read like so many movies I’ve seen in the past. We’ve all seen these movies. The movie starts in the present or what we preceive to be the present and then like a sling shot catapults us back in time to account for what we’ve just seen. The story

Stiffness Report from laboratory work performed on 12 May 2011 as a part of the unit of study CIVL2201 Structural Mechanics Abstract This report has been written to describe an experiment performed on a channel section examining the stiffness of the beam through two differing types of deformation – curvature and deflection. The aim of the experiment was to determine the value of the flexural rigidity (EI) in two different ways; using the curvature‚ k‚ and the mid-span deflection. The testing method

a load of 1.5 tonnes along I-beam of 4 metres long. The research that we did was mainly on existing trolley cranes and the configurations of these cranes which allowed us to familiarize ourselves with what the crane does and how it works. The way that the crane operates is by having a person pull a chain. This chain is connected to a drive shaft which in turn is connected to a pinion and two wheels. These wheels allow the crane to move horizontally along the I-beam whilst sustaining a load.

the primary aspect of civil engineering. The very basis of construction of any building‚ residential house or dams‚ bridges‚ culverts‚ canals etc. is designing. Structural engineering has existed since humans first started to construct their own structures. The foremost basic in structural engineering is the design of simple basic components and members of a building viz.‚ Slabs‚ Beams‚ Columns and Footings. In order to design them‚ it is important to first obtain the plan of the particular building

Select the lightest weight steel wide-flange beam3 that will safely support the bending load (use a factor of safety‚ FS=2). Do not include the weight of the beam for this calculation. Derive and graph the equation of‚ slope and elastic curve by integration. (Ignore the weight of the beam for this calculation.) Determine the

Slope deflection method From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia The slope deflection method is a structural analysis method for beams and frames introduced in 1914 by George A. Maney.[1] The slope deflection method was widely used for more than a decade until the moment distribution method was developed.
