This bridge was one of the bridges that we thought as a group that can hold the much weight because of its structures. At first it was really hard to figure out on how to build it but three minds always work better then one so as we figured out the best way to built it we would test it ourselves. The Pratt truss was first developed in 1844 under patent of Thomas and Caleb Pratt. Since the 1840s through the early twentieth century‚ the Pratt has diagonals in tension‚ verticals in compression‚ except

Throughout the 19th centenary many types of trusses where patented from wood to iron but these wrought iron truss bridges where all slowly replaced with steel bridges in the late 19th centenary.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction A bridge consists of super structure of steel or reinforced concrete member that is supported on one or more points by cables extending from one or more tower is known as cable stayed bridge. The cable-stayed bridge is one of the most modern bridges. It consists of a continuous strong beam (girder) with one or more pillars or towers (pylons) in the middle Cables stretch diagonally between these pylons and the beam‚ these cables forms intermediate supports

Bridges are a very important part of transportation. They are used to span things such as water‚ valleys or other roads. The design of a specific bridge is directly dependent on what it has to cross‚ where it is being built‚ and the materials that are being used. The original bridges were simply trees‚ which by chance had fallen over small rivers or streams. However‚ as time went on‚ bridges became much more advanced‚ including suspension bridges‚ arch bridges and beam bridges. In suspension

Signature Bridge The Yamuna Bridge at Wazirabad is an unsymmetrical cable-stayed bridge with a span of 251 meters and length of 675 meters. The bridge’s composite deck carries 8 lanes (4 in each direction). It is about 35 meter wide and is supported by lateral cables spaced at 13.5 meters interval. The height of the steel tower is approximately 150 meters. The area around the bridge will later be developed into a park and the Yamuna River will be widened to lake like dimensions.

John Roebling‚ the creative genius behind the Brooklyn Bridge project‚ had first envisioned it in 1852 after having witnessed the horrible delays caused by the East River choked with ice. However‚ because of suspicions among the public of whether a bridge that would have to be wide enough to allow boats to pass under it and strong enough to sustain the terrible winds and powerful currents of the river was possible‚ the project seemed unrealistic. The winter of 1866/1867‚ which was one of the worst
