produced dramatic increases in the x-ray bright ness until they are now a trillion times brighter than a conventional x-ray machine. When a charged particle accelerates it radiates photons or x-rays. For example‚ in a conventional x-ray tube the electron beam accelerates from a fila ment to an anode‚ where it decelerates rapidly at the anode and emits x-rays (shown schematically in Fig. 2). A different approach is to accelerate (or decelerate) the particle by passing it through a magnetic field. This is

in the longitudinal direction of the structural element. This force prevents the cracks from developing by eliminating or considerably reducing the tensile stresses at the critical midspan and support sections at service load‚ thereby raising the bending‚ shear‚ and torsional capacities of the sections. The sections are then able to behave elastically‚ and almost the full capacity of the concrete in compression can be efficiently utilized across the entire depth of the concrete sections when all

Africa and Asia‚ building bridges and roads of very high quality. 2- Different types of bridge designs (include diagrams and labels) The beam bridge... consists of a horizontal beam supported at each end by piers. The weight of the beam pushes straight down on the piers. The farther apart its piers‚ the weaker the beam becomes. This is why beam bridges rarely span more than 250 feet. The truss bridge... consists of an assembly of triangles. Truss bridges are commonly made

which are known as the cruck blades‚ these are often cut from the same tree by cutting right down the middle of the trunk‚ this means that whatever the shape (twist/bend) the pair will be identical. A collar/tie beam would sometimes be added in order to brace the frame and to stop it from bending/twisting. The cruck frame is the key element in cruck construction as the frame carries the whole load directly to the ground. “This type of construction continued until the early part of the 18th Century in
