TASK 4(P4):- Discuss the effect of loading structural material 1) You need to discuss the effect of compressive force, tensile force, shear force, bending force on structural member 1) Timber: Compressive force on timber: - The effect of a compressive force on a timber is a change in structure of a material and to carry a load within its limits. Tensile force on timber: - The tensile force is the pulling force exerted on both the ends of a timber. Both the ends of a timber will undergo tension…

Penang Second Bridge is one of the largest civil engineering projects in Malaysia after the First Penang Bridge. Penang Second Bridge or also known as The Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah Bridge was a dual carriageway toll bridge in Penang, Malaysia. It was the second bridge which connects the mainland to the island after the first Penang Bridge. Once construction is completed, a maintenance management system plays an important role in maintaining the adequacy and the structure of the bridge so…

The I-35W Mississippi bridge was an eight lane, three span deck truss bridge which carried the interstate highway 35 across the Mississippi river. It was located in the biggest city of Minnesota, Minneapolis. It carried around 140,000 vehicles per day, making it the second busiest bridge in Minnesota. Construction repair and renew work was scheduled to be carried on the bridge again in 2020 or so. However, on August 1st, 2007, it collapsed all of a sudden, thereby killing 13 people and injuring…

Bending Strength requirement This is the first body requirement and its task is to support all the vehicle subsystems. The body in static is going to suffer bending due to the weight of the components, passengers, fuel and cargo, Figure 42. Similar to a beam simple supported, the very first requirement is that the structure bend sufficient to absorb the energy due to the weight, but has to withstand the weight under different loading scenarios. Figure 42: Body loading under a static scenario…

section of the I-35W bridge over the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, Minnesota, suddenly collapsed. 145 people were injured, and thirteen died. This case study is based on an investigation of material evidence provided by the NASA Safety Center(NSC), National Aeronautics and Space administration (NASA), National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), and a full-scale load rating of the bridge superstructure. Proximate (Direct) Cause: Gusset plates finally fractured by the former bridge heavy…

The Interstate 35W Bridge Collapse Antonio Larios SYST 505 Professor Rochelle Jones February 6, 2017 George Mason University 2 Background The Interstate 35 West (I-35W) Mississippi River Bridge was a steel truss bridge built by the Industrial Construction Company and Hurcon Inc. between 1964 and 1967. Located in downtown Minneapolis, the bridge spanned over 1,900 feet across the Mississippi River and had a width of eight lanes (Minnesota, 2007). As early as 1991, the I-35W Bridge had already…

Project Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 1) What is the main reason for this project? The existing bridge was built in 1956. It is a reinforced concrete/steel girder bi-directional three-span bridge and is approximately 32 ft wide and 205 ft long, with span lengths of 60-89-60 ft to each bent. The existing bridge roadbed width is 26 ft and provides 11 ft lanes and 2 ft shoulders, with baluster rails. It has a long history of issues associated with earth movement; stability issues were…

impacts on traffic in Norman. The construction project includes the widening of Interstate 35 and reconstruction of the interchanges at West Lindsey Street and Highway 9 East. The West Lindsey Street Interchange is designed like the recently completed bridge at Main Street. This kind of interchange is designed to move large volumes of traffic. The project represents the largest single contract in the Oklahoma Department of Transportation’s history. But, the construction timeline is not…

The Ink Bridge by Neil Grant is a compelling novel written in third person about two boys from two different worlds on a journey of silence, Omed was de-tongued by the Taliban for his defiance while Hec experienced a traumatic family event that lead him to silence, fate played its part and the two boys met and were forever connected. We learn just how important it is to build bridges to the world rather than building walls around ourselves, and the significance that friendship and communication…

The Painting on Ivory depicts King Khosrow and Queen Shirin in the Garden Court and was constructed by Persian Rovhani during the 20th century. The lively scene makes its presence known in that it is vivid in its use of color yet uniform all the same, the text is included around the images rather than the other way around, and the individual events are separated into discrete horizontal sections yet are woven together seamlessly into the fabric of the scene. In addition, the narrative of the…
