load-carrying components of a structure. In most trusses‚ members are arranged in interconnected triangles‚ as shown below. Because of this configuration‚ truss members carry load primarily in tension and compression. Because trusses are very strong for their weight‚ they are often used to span long distances. They have been used extensively in bridges since the early 19th century; however‚ truss bridges have become somewhat less common in recent years. Today trusses are often used in the roofs of buildings

respond‚ as a matter of law there was no acceptance by insured‚ there was no contract created‚ and insured was not liable for unpaid premiums. Chapter 11.4 Gough was under a preexisting duty to construct the trusses. Chuckrow was never obligated to pay for the reerection of those trusses‚ and Gough’s preexisting duty cannot operate as consideration for Chuckrow’s offer to pay. Therefore the contract was not modified‚ and Chuckrow is obligated only for the original contract price. Chapter 13

Its seven stories‚ built upon a square foundation‚ stretched 300 feet into the sky. Some think it was the inspiration for the infamous Tower of Babel in the Book of Genesis.

Truss bridges were invented in the year of 1844. The first Truss to be invented was the Pratt Truss. This is because Caleb and Thomas Pratt invented the bridge. The basic types of Trusses are Warren‚ Pratt‚ Howe and K Truss. These are just the four that people use most commonly. The Truss Bridge is almost like a beam bridge with braces. The Truss Bridge can either be a through Truss or a Deck Truss. A Through Truss means that the deck of the bridge is under the bars or braces of the bridge. A Deck

Have you ever crossed a bridge when driving around your city and thought about how it was constructed or how long did it take to be built or is this bridge really safe and will it ever fall down. Well‚ I certainly have and I know that I don’t want for a bridge to fall down whenever I am driving or walking across one. It was 6:05 pm‚ the rush hour in Minneapolis‚ Minnesota and the unimaginable at the I-35W bridge occurred. On August 1‚ 2007 the 1‚907 foot long bridge collapsed leaving dozens of cars

September 11‚ 2001 was a defining moment in American history‚ as well as a defining moment in the history of the fire service‚ when 343 fire fighters were lost in the 2 largest building collapses in recorded history (Brannigan & Corbett‚ 2015). The mechanism of the collapse of these structures has become a source of debate. NIST analyzed the collapse and arrived at a conclusion as to the contributing factors of the collapse of the buildings. Some of the factors include dislodged fire proofing‚ weakened

The Non-Traditional structure that I chose to design is a log home. When doing research on styles of construction I was a little overwhelmed with the options that are available for construction methods. The first thing I needed to find out is what type of footing and foundation is needed to support the immense weight of the logs. An 8"x16" footing and 8" foundation is sufficient enough to support the weight of a log home. There are three different options available for supporting the floor joist
