Brooklyn Bridge

Bridge Design: Edmond Liu My popsicle bridge is based on a truss design, which is a bridge design held up by a connected structure composed of many smaller pieces. In particular, my bridge is a variation of the Queen Post Truss Bridge, which has two central supporting posts to allow for a greater span allowing for larger contact points.

decided to do a bowstring bridge. A bowstring bridge normally are used to carry road and rail traffic. By bowstring bridges being able to use arches it makes it so that the weight of anything crossing the bridge is actually able to go straight down into the bridge instead of dispersing across the entire bridge. This makes sure that the bridge doesn’t have one spot taking on too much weight on the bridge. Bowstring bridges tend to be become stronger over time because the bridge becomes compact on…

4 We reached Patna by late afternoon. We disembarked our bus at the Gandhi Bridge as it was known among the passengers. It is one of the longest bridges in the Asia built on the holy river, Ganges. It had made our journey pretty much comfortable. Earlier, it was a gigantic task to reach this city. You would have to use the ferries and boats to cross this mighty river. And it took many precious hours then. We put our bags and sacks of the grain on many men-drawn cycle rickshaws as it was the most…

For the purpose of this project we will be discussing mainly the truss bridge. A truss bridge is a bridge whose load-bearing superstructure is composed of a truss, a structure of connected elements forming triangular units. The connected elements (typically straight) may be stressed from tension, compression, or sometimes both in response to dynamic loads. (john, 2013) A truss is assumed to comprise of members that are connected by means of pin joints, and which is supported at both ends by…

The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge. It is located in San Francisco, California, and connects to Marin County, California. To San Francisco, it’s one of the most known symbols. The construction began January 25, 1933, ended April 19, 1837 and opened May 27, 1937 which lasted for one week. The whole project cost more than 35 million dollars. Many people argued that the bridge couldn’t be built across a 6700 ft. strait, which had swirling tides and currents with 372 ft of water deep, at…

The Rialto Bridge is located in Venice,a small island-like city off the coast of the Po Valley, in northeast Italy over the Grand Canal. In Venice, there are no major roadways. Instead, there are canals, or waterways that act as major roads. The Rialto Bridge was constructed by architect Antonio da Ponte, whose name means Antonio of the Bridge, curiously enough. Construction began in 1588 and ended in 1591. This bridge is made out of a white stone and is an arch bridge. The Rialto Bridge is a…

Beam bridges, are also known as girder bridges. They are one of the oldest and most common bridges. They are held up by river banks or piers at both ends. Box girders and trusses can help a beam bridge stay up and be stronger. Highways overpasses are normally beam bridges. The first person to build a beam bridge is not known. Although, the first beam bridges were built in ancient times. Some of the first beam bridges were built in Rome. Some of the most famous beam bridges are the Manchac Swamp…

From the Bering Strait to the connection between the Hill Center and the Engineering Building, bridges have been used for thousands of years to connect people with places. As people began building bridges, they have to consider not only the structural integrity of the bridge for the safety of the passengers crossing the bridge. With the invention of cars, even more safety precautions must be enacted to keep everyone safe. A car is being driven on a windy day has a higher chance of turning over…
