Golden Gate Bridge Lead Designers/Engineers. The First proposal for the Golden Gate Bridge came from James Wilkins‚ who at the time was an engineering student. The cost of James Wilkins Bridge was unrealistic at the time which was 100million dollars‚ but none the less it set the bar for other bridge engineers to try to work out a cheaper solution. During this time a young Joseph Strauss had graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in Business and Economics. Joseph was an avid

Abstract: A novel three-point method using a grating eddy current absolute position sensor (GECS) for bridge deflection estimation is proposed in this paper. Real spatial positions of the measuring points along the span axis are directly used as relative reference points of each other rather than using any other auxiliary static reference points for measuring devices in a conventional method. Every three adjacent measuring points are defined as a measuring unit and a straight connecting bar with
