Truss Bridge Physics 141 Robin Hoffmeister There is many reason that we need bridges in every day of our life‚ from sufficient means to pass over a roadway‚ waterway‚ railway‚ or other structure.

In Delany’s article "Pilgrim at Topanga Creek”‚ Boyle makes a social commentary about possible causes and solutions for the immigration problem through further development of coyotes as a symbol for immigrants.

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.
