Suspension bridge

and water falls between the mountains. The water falls have swinging bridges going across them and not everyone will walk across because of the fear of it breaking or swinging too much. So my idea is to have the children build a regular bridge with a roof that does not swing and sheds shade to those in wheel chairs can enjoy the water falls and bridge as well. In this activity we will use Lincoln logs to build a two layer bridge that stretches across with a covered top. First we will sort the…

walking across the bridge with confidence and faith. But of course, there were pieces of the bridge missing. Every step she took could lead to another step filled with worry or death. As Zoya finally nears the end, she falls. The snakes beneath her rattle louder than before thinking they are going to have dinner, but fortunately, she catches herself. She has a lot of arm and leg strength from working on her family's farm for over 10 years. She pulled herself up, crossed the bridge, and made it…

Discussion: Bridges are affected by both internal and external forces. Internal forces occur within the bridge, through tension, compression, bending, etc. External forces are applied to the outside of the bridge, and can be static or dynamic. The static load of the bridge is the bridge itself, and the weight of its members and components. This is created by the force of gravity pulling on the members of the bridge. The dynamic load moves and changes, such as traffic, people, wind. It is created…

a. The bridge is in Banff, Alberta within Canada’s first national park (Structure Craft, 2013). It was completed in 2013 by Structure Craft Builders and is one of the longest timber bridges in the world, achieving a span of 80m within its total length of 113m (Structure Craft, 2013). b. Principle Structural System The principle structural system is comprised of drilled piers to support 40m long glulam girders cantilevered (Structure Craft, 2013). The elevation of the bridge displays stepped…

As seen in Figure 8 above, Eco Logical Australia recommends the placement of 20 road signs in areas deemed to be high risk. These areas were chosen by analysing the green lines which indicate a high risk road. The overall cost of a sign includes production, installation, and maintenance. This information was extremely difficult to obtain, therefore an estimate has been created. The base cost for a wildlife warning sign is $175 (Seton, 2017). It is then estimated that installation costs are $120…

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Coleridge, is a poem that was written in 1798 during the Industrial Revolution. The tale guides the reader through the adventures of an ancient mariner. The mariner begins telling his tale during a wedding. The mariner learns his lesson after killing an innocent Albatross on a voyage. Coleridge uses symbolism and diction to instill the lesson of respect for nature and all of God's creation. The lesson imparted by Coleridge in the poem is done so…

Grounded was a creatively executed, compelling play about a Pilot and her struggle to keep her identity as a fighter pilot while still being a loving mother and wife. The show was held in the basement of the Longstreet Theatre in a small, dark room. There was one actress on stage, but it was obvious that the production involved several other people to pull it all together back stage. The show was designed so that the audience could see the actress playing the Pilot, a single chair, and a variety…

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…

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…
