Arch

A beam bridge or known as a girder bridge, is a bridge structure that consists of horizontal beams spanning supported by pillar at each end of the deck. The weight of the beam including the structure itself, plus any load it carries are supported by the downward force into the pillars. The beam bridge works on the principles of compression and tension, where on top of the bridge bends, it undergoes compression and at the bottom it is subjected to a horizontal tension. Therefore, the bridge must…

Having flat feet can affect parts of your body that are not even close to the feet. When one has flat feet, the ankles tend to overpronate. Because there are no arches to hold the foot up, the ankle falls inward. This means that if one with over pronation were to squat, the knees would go inward and hit each other. Over pronation in the ankles makes the the legs turn inwards which eventually leads to the hips internally rotating. In the long run, this misalignment could severely affect the…

I think that the legacy of Roman Architecture and Engineering has had the greatest impact on today's society. "Rome fell but it's legacy lived on." A legacy is something that one is remembered by. The Roman Empire fell but the styles, architecture and designs that the Romans used are still used today and incorporated in many of the monuments and wonders of the world today. Without a doubt, Roman art, Roman architecture and engineering, Roman language and writing, Roman law, citizenship, and…

Nîmes aqueduct, which was made in the first century (AD) to carry water from a spring at Uzès to the Roman Nimes. One of the most important contributions to the world of architecture was the creation of the arch. Romans built arches with special concrete which would allow them to make the arch structured taller yet more stable. The first level is a road on the top third level contains a covered water aqueduct which would carry water down. The bridge had three tiers of arches the top being the…

Arches were arguably the greatest invention refined by the Romans. The purpose of the arch is to redistribute the weight evenly across the entire structure. Arches were able to withstand immense amounts of weight due to the roman discovery of concrete. The Roman Arch was incredibly important in their society as the building of Aqueducts included the figure of an Arch. The refined Roman Arch is the most lasting and distinguishing factor of Roman Architecture which has even been included…

has a curve, called an arch, on its inner side. The arch creates a gap between the foot and the ground. Flat feet is a common condition in which one or both feet do not have an arch. CAUSES This condition may be caused by: Failure of normal arch to develop during childhood. An injury to tendons and ligaments in the foot, such as to the tendon that supports the arch (posterior tibial tendon). Loose tendons or ligaments in the foot. A wearing down of the arch over time.…

Bridges Types Assessment There are five main types of bridges, these include the truss bridge, the arch bridge, the suspension, the beam bridge and the cable-stayed bridge. Each of these categories has various strengths, weaknesses and defining features and these are listed and clarified in the following report. The Truss Bridge Truss bridges are a reliable, economical and easy-to-build variety of bridges as they use a combination of tension and compression to provide a high level of…

Arches National Park This area is changing and here is why. The story of Arches begins roughly 65 million years ago. At that time, the area was a dry seabed spreading from horizon to horizon. The striking red rock features we see today would have been buried thousands of feet below you, raw material as yet uncarved. Then the landscape slowly began to change due to erosion (National Park Service). The national park lies on top of an underground evaporite layer or salt bed, which is the main…

City Planning on Ancient Lepcis, Libya The Romans have been recognized for their intricate ‘ancient city town planning’ since the Oxford historian, Haverfield, “asserted the notion of the planned Roman city in 1913” (Laurence, p. 12). This has been studied throughout the course of Pompeii during the quarter, and will be discussed in another Roman city, Lepcis Magna - otherwise known as Libya. Lepcis Magna is considered one of the largest Roman cities in Africa, and will therefore portray…
