They are built using cantilevers; horizontal structures that are only supported on the ends. These bridges are anchored securely on one side‚ in order to hold up the necessary weight on the opposite side‚ which is freestanding. Cantilevers must also withstand tension in the upper supports and compression in the lower supports. With proper materials and engineering‚ cantilever bridges can span over about 1‚500 feet. Cable-stayed bridges look similar

Science‚ University of Pune‚ Pune-411 007‚ India Abstract: In addition to sensitivity and bandwidth‚ the cross-sensitivity is an important design parameter for acceleration/ inertial sensor design. In this paper prediction of cross-axis sensitivity of cantilever type of piezoresistive accelerometer is discussed. The effect of variation in geometrical parameters such as width and thickness of flexure & proof mass (PM) on crosssensitivity are studied. Optimization of cross-sensitivity by varying geometrical

The piles used with this method are usually small diameter bored piles Cantilever Beams This method stabilises existing wall foundations either internally or externally whichever the most appropriate. Two mini-piles are installed‚ one compression and one tension. A pocket is broken out into the existing wall and a reinforced concrete beam is cast linking the two piles. This system is used where traditional underpinning is not appropriate due to the

EARTHQUAKE An earthquake (also known as a tremor‚ temblor or seismic activity) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the earth’s crust that creates SEISMIC WAVES. Earthquakes are measured with a seismometer; a device which also records is known as a seismograph. SEISMIC DEFORMATION When an earthquake fault ruptures‚ it causes two types of deformation: static; and dynamic. Static deformation is the permanent displacement of the ground due to the event. The earthquake cycle progresses
