Morris and the Anglin brothers started preparing for their escape months prior to their escape in June 1962. The intelligent men began their strategy with saw blades and sharpening spoons from the prison cafeteria to widen the air vents in their cells until the openings were large enough for them to shimmy through. The inescapable prison was starting to deteriorate and the three inmates used the crumbling walls of the building to their advantage. They covered their digging by crafting a…

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…

Sensation Russky Bridge, Vladivostok, Russia. What are Cable/Stayed Bridges? A cable/stayed bridge is a bridge that has two towers with cables supporting the bridge itself, as shown above. The towers are called pylon, the crossing area itself is called the roadway. The cables are obviously called cables. The supports underneath on the sides are called abutments, The foundations are located under the ground on the bottom of the pylons. Cable bridges are unique because no other bridge has…

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…

How did the insights gained through your participation in CTE 101 assist you in effectively planning instruction that was defined by the CTE model curriculum standards, CSTP’s, and TPE’s. Be specific. During my participation in CTE 101 class, I was able to learn about engaging and supporting my students’ learning using the California Standards for the Teaching Profession. Using those standards, I was able to better connect with my students and bring their prior life experiences and interests to…

Introduction: The bridge lab project was based on the given scenario in which a reliable bridge needed to be constructed over a river in order to alleviate traffic. The objective was to design a bridge to relieve traffic flow that was also safe, cost effective, and aesthetically pleasing. The constraints for this project included the budget and minimum height and width requirements. The max budget to purchase wood was $200, the minimum height at all points of the bridge was 3 inches, the…
