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3 (Technical Communication) Mendez‚ Charles Wayne M. I. Introduction Suspension bridges in their simplest form were originally made from rope and wood.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 of individual

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

How does the environment a bridge is in effect how the bridge will withstand‚ even with the different pressures it faces everyday? Which environment is the best and safest place for a certain bridge? The answers to these questions involves researching different topics such as bridge types and different structures. It is important to research about different environments so the environment is simulated correctly. Environments would include a mountainous/rocky terrain‚ grasslands‚ ocean/river‚

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

When Harold of England heard this he set out for the north‚ hurrying his grumbling soldiers along at a speed to which they were quite unaccustomed. King Harold and his men were only a day’s march from York when the invaders took the city by storm. That night the Northmen returned
