English 3 (Technical Communication) Mendez‚ Charles Wayne M. I. Introduction Suspension bridges in their simplest form were originally made from rope and wood. Modern suspension bridges use a box section roadway supported by high tensile strength cables. In the early nineteenth century‚ suspension bridges used iron chains for cables. The high tensile cables used in most modern suspension bridges were introduced in the late nineteenth century. Today‚ the cables are made of thousands

Suspension Of all the bridge types in use today‚ the suspension bridge allows for the longest spans. At first glance the suspension and cable-stayed bridges may look similar‚ but they are quite different. Though suspension bridges are leading long span technology today‚ they are in fact a very old form of bridge. Some primitive examples of suspension bridges use vines and ropes for cables. Typical Span Lengths 70m - 1‚000m+ World’s Longest Akashi Kaikyo Bridge‚ Japan Total Length 3‚911m

Suspension bridge – A parabola What is meant by suspension bridge? A suspension bridge is a type of bridge in which the deck (the load-bearing portion) is hung below suspension cables on vertical suspenders. Outside Tibet and Bhutan‚ where the first examples of this type of bridge were built in the 15th century‚ this type of bridge dates from the early 19th century. Bridges without vertical suspenders have a long history in many mountainous parts of the world. Structure of suspension bridge

of April Suspension Bridges A suspension bridge is a bridge with overhead cables supporting its roadway. The first suspension bridges were made by the primitive people using vines as cables and they would mount the roadway directly on the cable. Then in the 4th century a much stronger type was introduced in India. They used plaited bamboo cables and then iron chain to suspend the road. In the 18th century engineers encountered many problems with the stability of the bridge. The bridge would always

Suspension Bridges A suspension bridge is a one where many cables are strung across two or more towers‚ which supports the majority of the bridge weight and force. The cables run from the towers to the anchorages. Suspension bridges have benefited our everyday lives since John A. Roebling perfected the suspension bridge design in 1845 and built the Allegheny Suspension Bridge in Pittsburgh‚ Pennsylvania (Placzek). These bridges are better than previous bridges in many ways. Suspension bridges can

COMPARISON BETWEEN BAILEYS BRIDGE TRUSS AND SUSPENSION BRIDGES Name Institution Comparison between Baileys Bridge Truss and Suspension Bridges The Bailey bridge trusses are bridges that are portable and comprise of pre-fabricated trusses (Katohi‚ 2013). They were designed to assist the military to cross wide cliffs and gaps of up to 200 feet (Caney‚ 2006; McGloin‚ 2008). In the contemporary world‚ longer Bailey bridges have been constructed‚ and are able to function effectively to allow smooth transportation

Results Calculation a) 50ml of suspensions containing 5% w/v of sulpharmerazine which containing 10-2‚ 5 x 10-3‚ 10-3‚ 5 x 10-4‚ 10-4‚ 5x 10-5‚ and 10-5 molar concentrations of Calcium Chloride. ( 10-2 are provided ). By using this formula‚ we can get the amount of calcium chloride to be added in making 50 ml suspensions containing 5% w/v of sulpharmerazine. M1V1 = M2V2 M2 = 5 x 10-3‚ 10-3‚ 5 x 10-4‚ 10-4‚ 5x 10-5‚ and 10-5 M ‚ V2 = 50ml M1 = 0.01M Thus‚ V1 = ( M2 . V2 )
