Why do you think our school is good for your future plans andpurposes? A simple bridge truss was the first structure I ever analyzed . The simplecombination of beams that could hold cars‚ trains‚ and trucks over long spansof water fascinated me . Having the tools to analyze the loads on the trussfurther increased my interest in structures . I encountered the bridge in atextbook for my first engineering class . Knowing that the professor‚ Mr . John Doe‚ was a tough teacher‚ I asked himfor th

Research Paper There are many types of Bridges. Some common types of Bridges include Beam‚ Arch‚ Suspension‚ Cantilever‚ Truss‚ and Cable-Stayed bridges. Bridges are ancient. They have been with us for over 2500 years. The Zhaozhou Bridge is the oldest standing Arch Bridge. It was built in 605 AD. Beam bridges are one of the most simplest types of bridges. The Beam Bridge could be anything as simple as a plank of wood. Or a complex structure. The Beam Bridge is composed up two or more supports that

commercial progress‚ have made the people to be in touch. Also‚ for the sales of products was necessary to build bridges as an alternative way to those people who didn´t have boats to transport their products. The bridges have been an amazing advance into the civil engineering field. As the time passed‚ the bridges were needed for transportation and to be used as communication routes. The bridges have been changing as needed‚ either to make them more efficient or innovative. Now day civil engineers are

Bridge Design Questions Question 1 Design Element: The first design element we used was our horizontal deck design. We took 11 sticks‚ placed them side by side horizontally so the length would be equivalent to the edge of the plate. After that we glued and pressed down two sticks on each side on each end and made five of those

Gene Elliot who was employed for Mabey Bridge and Shore. Mabey Bridge and Shore was a small business that rented temporary steel pedestrian bridges to other companies. In this particular case‚ Mabey Bridge and Shore rented a pedestrian bridge to Turner Construction. Turner Construction decided that it was necessary to use a subcontractor to actually perform the work‚ and this is where a company by the name of B&C Steel came into play. Apart from renting a bridge‚ Turner Construction also “rented” the

straws‚ and cup (which was 21 cm long) 6 to 7 cm longer. We could also fix the slide (which was 36 cm in total) by making it 6 to 7 cm longer as well. Our bridge needed a stronger base because it kept falling side to side. So we can put a couple more straws to each side of the cups and tape them all together. I am certain that if we redo our bridge we can succeed. Scientific Inquiry is posing a question‚ then developing a hypothesis‚ next designing experiments‚ then collecting data‚ next drawing

Airport Project The documentary video shows an extreme engineering works of constructing the Hong Kong International Airport. This project not only consists of new airport but also consists of super highways‚ tunnels and double Decker suspended bridges connecting to the main city. The construction of this project was definitely tough since only 7 years were given to complete the entire project. In fact‚ this project was estimated to be completed in 15 years. There are several challenges faced
