Introduction

This report discusses the history of the Golden Gate Bridge, including the ferry services that preceded it (and resumed years later), when the bridge was built and opened, and the reason it was so named. It also provides some technical details of its construction.

History of the Ferry Service

Long before the Golden Gate Bridge was built, the only way for members of the public to cross San Francisco Bay was by ferries, which from 1850 provided a service between San Francisco and Oakland (“History of Golden Gate Ferry Service”, 2012). Then, according to the same article, a ferry service was started between Sausalito in Marin ...

Abstract
The Brooklyn Bridge is probably underappreciated by most of the people who use it today but it is still an example of great engineering. The chief engineer, Roebling, designed a suspension bridge that was fifty percent longer than any other suspension bridge of the times. His design for weighting of the bridge to keep it stable when there was wind is a very important lesson for today’s suspension bridge designers. The health and safety issues of the height of the bridge and the use of the Caisson boxes have been discussed. The approximately 27 deaths that took place ...

The Suir River Bridge

Introduction
Bridges are prone to harsh environmental conditions, increased traffic and loads among other physical mechanisms. Additionally, deferred maintenance contributes, majorly, to the deterioration of these bridges. For these reasons, therefore, it is important that every existing bridge is constantly subjected to assessments to determine its condition. This is important in order to determine and develop the bridge’s rating regarding the load it can hold and subsequently strengthen it to withstand more load to meet the ever increasing demands. An assessment is also fundamental in determining whether the bridge ought to be posted for the sake of public ...

Introduction

The collapse of the I-75 Bridge in Cincinnati is just but some of the engineering disasters that have led to loss of properties and in advanced cases, the loss of lives. Such disasters are generally man-made in the sense that they occur or are caused by structures that have been manufactured by humans. In most cases, man-made infrastructures fail or collapse as a result of misappropriation of engineering materials or as a result of the reaction of between certain environmental conditions and the engineering materials. Engineering disasters such as the 1-75 Bridge collapse can be traced from as early as 1297 ...

Abstract

The aim of this experiment was to determine the relationship between the Young’s Modulus and the deflection of a beam. Since different materials have different values of Young’s Modulus, the students selected three different materials for the experiment. In this case, the materials used include timber, aluminium, and steel. All the materials were identical in terms of the dimensions such as width and length. The each beam of the three materials was subjected to some magnitude of force at the centre and deflection measured. Data concerning the magnitude of load and the corresponding defection were then gathered ...

A bridge is a structure constructed to cross physical barriers such as a valley, body of water, or a road in order to provide passage over the obstacle. Bridges are designed depending on the nature of the landscape there the bridge is to be built, the function of the bridge, funds available to build it and the material used to construct it.
At the level of theoretical engineering the most important geometric development administering the design of the bridge are the vertical and horizontal alignments, the cross section of the bridge, the arrangement of piers for span positioning, height and the pylon/ ...

Recognized as engineering virtuoso, Isambard Kingdom Brunel is also acknowledged for his audacious plans and colossal structures that are critical parts in even today’s times. Brunel amalgamated innovation and immeasurable boldness of foresight in constructing his oft contentious “trophies.” Born to French and English parents, Brunel began his internship with his father on the building of London’s Thames Tunnel. Soon after, Brunel was designated as the projects’ resident engineer; aside from being the lead engineer, Brunel was also able to gain considerable knowledge and exposure on cement and brick structures that would serve him in his future ...

Introduction

A load cell is a transducer used to convert a physical quantity (force) to electrical quantity (voltage). A strain gage is one of the commonest types of load cells. In these types of load cells, gages are connected to a structure that bends on the application of a force. A Wheatstone bridge circuit is a four type strain traducer that gives a maximum sensitivity as well as temperature compensation (Westwood 38). A quarter or half bridge are used to perform the same purpose. In the Wheatstone bridge device, two gages are under tension while the other two are in ...

Analysis of Water Quality from the Rivers Colne, Holme and Calder Flowing through Huddersfield/Mirfield

Introduction

It is a truism that water is a valuable resource. Rivers are among the major suppliers of freshwater resources for humans and other terrestrial organisms. Thus, without rivers humans could not have survived. The importance of river systems has been elucidated even during the rise of the Egyptian Civilization. The Nile River for instance has provided humans with food, drink, fertile soil and even a site for settlement (Hassan and Al Rasheedy, 2007). The ecosystem services that the river provide to people since time immemorial include water supply ...

The objective of this experiment was to get acquainted and study galvanic cells, Nernst equation, and electrochemical reactions and determine the experimental value for the Ecell vs. log Q for Cu/Zn cell.
Galvanic cells are the systems which can produce electric current due to reactions occurring in them. In our common understanding these cells are the batteries. In these cells, the processes of electron transfer and corresponding chemical reactions occur due to the difference in tendency of different substances to gain electrons. The galvanic cell typically consists of two half-cells and a junction between them which is often a ...

Intercultural business communication is difficult even at the best of times, but when there are distinct differences in cultural realities, communication can be made even more difficult. Intercultural business communication and the difficulties associated with it can obviously also be made more complex by past conflicts between that nation and other nations. Vietnam, for instance, was embroiled in a bloody conflict with the United States for a number of years, and that conflict still influences Vietnamese-American relations today. Canada’s history with Vietnam is less problematic, but there are still issues that take place within cultural exchanges that cause problems for ...

Reflection Paper

The American Civil Rights Movement was a particularly transforming part in history that affected the lives of Americans not only in the past but largely during the current years of thriving in the country. It could not be denied that this even has marked a distinct course of development in the ways by which human rights is given particular attention to especially in the course of determining how social discrimination and segregation is seen to be largely affecting the community. What instantiates the said movement is the fact that the people have become more aware of the situation that they wanted ...

Introduction

The new developments in social and mainstream media have made a great contribution in the transnational cultural order as Kevin Robins puts it in his popular research work regarding the media and cultural practices in the Turkish Diaspora in Britain.
