Truss bridges are recognizable because of their numerous‚ relatively small interconnected triangles. This framework of triangles is used for is strength to withstand tension and compression forces. They are considered a light-weight yet a very stiff form of construction. At first they were built of wood‚ then with the discovery of welding they began to build then using iron‚ then steel. Occasionally‚ a combination of the materials may be used. There are actually 30 different kinds of truss bridges

Abstract- The development of De-Sauty’s bridge for capacitance measurement has been followed by various modifications and improvements in the original circuit. Lately Schering bridge and transformer ratio arm bridge have been used for measurement of capacitance in a circuit.Today there is instrumentation available that makes use of these bridges in real life such as that can measure the quality of electrical insulation at power frequency as well as in touch-sensitive sensors.

Natural Bridge Cavern Tour This was my third trip to the Cavern in the last five years‚ but I believe this is the first time that I have taken the time to appreciate the time line that the rock formations truly represent. Our tour guide explained that the caverns were first explored and mapped in the 1960’s and have been under continual exploration and development since that time. According to the website it is the largest commercially operated cave system in Texas‚ though not the largest
