Verrazano-Narrows Bridge

Verrazano Narrows Bridge – 1964 Figure 9 Tacoma Narrows Bridge now known as Verrazano Narrows Bridge During Failure Taken From: (Wikipedia, 2015) Leap 6: Wind The Tacoma Narrows Bridge was opened in 1940 but the design had a flaw. When the bridge deck was subjected to minor winds the deck moved up and downwards and began twisting, the bridge eventually collapsed. Peter Sluszka, a qualified bridge engineer explained that, aerodynamic instability of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge had to do with the shape of the structure that the wind blows across. (Big Bigger Biggest, 2014) documentary stated that in order to reduce the effect of the wind, the flat side of the bridge should have had a streamline profile to deflect the wind in order make it blow…

Parella 1 James Parella Mrs. McGuinness ILA 8 April 11, 2017 THE VERRAZANO-NARROWS BRIDGE Just over 58 years ago, one of the world’s most iconic bridges was just being born. After five long years, it grew up and became the world’s longest bridge at the time it opened. The Verrazano-Narrows Bridge is one of the greatest and largest bridges in the entire world. The Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, or more well-known as the Verrazano Bridge, is the longest suspension bridge in the United States and is now…

lot of lives just by speculating and testing the effects of such scenarios. Referring back to the Chernobyl disaster, it can be examined that a minor design flaw caused a terrific disaster just through a simple test. According to the World Nuclear Association, “A peculiarity of the design of the control rods caused a dramatic power surge as they were inserted into the reactor.” (World Nuclear Association, 2016). As horrifying as the Chernobyl nuclear disaster is, in contrast, it can be compared…

The act of bridge building has changed the course of the world. Without bridges we wouldn’t be able to cross large bodies of water that previously prevented us from growing as a nation and expanding into worlds we once thought was held back from us. The construction of a bridge does more than link two pieces of land together. It exemplifies the notion that we will not be held back by the power of mother nature. While also changeling us to expand into realms through creativity and reason. The…

already “fixt” not care about criticism and only “fret” about having enough “deeds of light” (10) to enter heaven. This particular line also indicates the reason why many scholars believe that Milton “encourages” his lady friend: the terms, “care” and “fixt” can easily be interpreted that the lady shows stern devotion to her church; hence, the word, “zealously” (9). However, if one reads in between the lines, the terms, “care” and “fixt” function together to produce a pessimistic future. That is…

MILLERSBURG — After a year of giving themselves and representing Holmes County and the fair, royals Bryce Burgett and Lyndsey Davis are eagerly anticipating the arrival of this year's fair. King Burgett, 19, is the son of Dan and Jenny Burgett. He was nominated by the Nashville Jolly Farmers. Queen Davis, 17, is the daughter of Jerry and Lisa Davis. She was nominated by the Killbuck Handy Helpers 4-H Club. “I've been super busy traveling to other fairs and festivals,” said Davis, who said that…

The most difficult part is turning around and going back. Since we have already gone up that harsh ascent, we know how laborious the descent will be. Still, no matter how difficult it is, we must finish it. We begin our decline. We run back through the thin path, narrowly missing the trees as our speed quickly picks up. I am screeching. I do not want to collapse as I run down this steep and narrow hill. Abruptly, the path widens again and we are on flat ground. I am relieved for a second, and…

Lia reaches higher and pulls herself up the rough rock wall. Her fingers grasp the big shelf of rock directly over her head. Above, there is a complicated spot on the wall. Lia has never made it past before. Briefly, options are considered in her mind. Something new and courageous must be done if any improvement is to be made. She decides to leap. Her toes dig into the small crevice of rock beneath her feet. A few seconds later, Lia is flying towards the tall ceiling illuminated by bright…

First, it contributes to a greater sense of realism in the viewer. Sound originating from a source within the world of the scene does not indicate does as certainly as music from a non-diegetic source. Secondly, it can indicate information to the viewer. As the source of the music comes from within the universe of the characters, the music’s presence can be related to things within that universe, very relevantly to the characters themselves. In the same way that knowledge of someone’s musical…

equipment and bases. They needed to train up all different engineer jobs and get the equipment from all the engineer reserve unit. With all the different MOS’s there were two engineer jobs that were an asset Bridge and Land Clearance Engineers. There were many different missions for both types of engineers. There were miles and miles of new and old bridges that need to be constructed or repaired. Land Clearance teams had thousands of acres of dense jungles that needed to be cleared. With all the…
