The document summarizes a student's bridge project. The student chose to model the Rainbow Bridge in Tokyo, which is a suspension bridge that uses cables and pillars. Suspension bridges distribute tension to cables and compression to pillars. The document then explains key scientific concepts like dead load, live load, wind load, tension, compression, and stress and how they relate to bridge design and behavior under different forces. Finally, it outlines the four basic bridge designs - beam, arch, suspension, and cantilever - and notes their common real-world applications.

Bridge
Arch bridges carry weight outward along a curved arch to abutments at each end, which support the load and prevent the ends from spreading. Abutments work like stacks of books that keep the ends of a curved cardboard strip from spreading when pressed down on. Beam bridges consist of a horizontal beam supported on piers at each end, with weight pushing straight down. When loaded, the top of the beam experiences compression and the bottom experiences tension.
Chinese arch bridges, timber, stone, concrete, steel.
China has a long history of arch bridge construction in wood and stone. Traditional Chinese timber rainbow bridges still exist, using woven timbers for extra span. Open spandrel stone arch bridges developed in China, with some recent failures highlighting structural issues. Modern bridges use steel, concrete and composite materials. The world's longest arch spans are found in China, including the longest concrete arch and steel truss arch. Reinforced concrete bridges were pioneered using cantilever construction. More recently, concrete filled steel tube bridges have achieved very long spans efficiently and economically, representing a uniquely Chinese solution to arch bridge design.

There are three main types of bridges: beam, arch, and suspension. Beam bridges can span short distances but require more supports as their length increases. Arch bridges use compression to maintain their shape over short spans. Suspension bridges are the most spectacular as they can clear the longest distances with towers and cables supporting the deck.

Types of bridges.pptx 1
The document discusses different types of bridges. It describes beam bridges as the simplest type that uses horizontal beams supported by piers on each end. Arch bridges carry weight outward along a curved arch to supports at each end. Suspension bridges suspend the roadway from main cables running from towers to anchorages at both ends, allowing very long spans. Cable-stayed bridges resemble suspension bridges but have cables attached directly to towers, which bear the load instead of transmitting it through cables.
Bridges.basic
The document discusses the history and engineering of bridges. It describes how bridges have developed over time, from natural bridges made of tree trunks and stone used by ancient civilizations, to modern bridges made of steel and concrete. It also explains some key bridge engineering concepts, such as compression, tension, trusses, and buckling. Additionally, it outlines the basic types of bridges including beam, arch, suspension, and cable-stayed, and how each is designed to handle forces and span different distances.
structures
The document discusses different types of bridges and structures. It defines arch bridges as bridges supported by an arch or series of arches. Suspension bridges have roadways hung from cables between tall towers. Truss bridges are supported by trusses to carry heavy loads without collapsing. Beam bridges are the most common type of bridge, supported by one or more beams. Solid structures rely on their own mass to resist forces, while frame structures gain strength from joined components forming triangles. Shell structures have a solid outer surface and hollow inner area.
Types of Bridges
There are six main types of bridges: beam, cantilever, arch, suspension, cable-stayed, and truss bridges. Beam bridges use shallow steel beams or reinforced concrete and are commonly used for pedestrian bridges. Cantilever bridges project horizontally on one end using trusses or box girders. Arch bridges transfer weight through curved arches to abutments on either side. Suspension bridges hang main cables from towers to support the deck. Cable-stayed bridges use cables from towers to support the deck. Truss bridges use connected, stressed elements like tension and compression to respond to loads.

Building Structure Project 1
This document summarizes a student project to design and build a truss bridge with fettuccine as the construction material. It outlines the objectives, scope, methodology and limitations of the project. The students tested different fettuccine brands and adhesives to select the strongest materials. They then designed multiple bridge models and tested them by adding weight until failure. The goal was to discover the most efficient bridge design that could withstand the greatest load while keeping the weight under 80 grams.
Bridges
Bridges are structures that allow transportation across obstacles like rivers, valleys, and roads. The earliest bridges were made of stone or rope, while modern bridges use concrete and steel and can span from 100 to 500 meters. There are several types of bridges classified by span length and design, including beam bridges from 15 to 100 meters, arch bridges from 30 to 500 meters, cable-stay bridges from 200 to 1100 meters, suspension bridges over 850 meters, truss bridges from 40 to 550 meters, and rigid frame bridges from 25 to 350 meters. Each type uses different structural designs and configurations of members in tension and compression.
Structures
There are six main types of structures: frame, shell, arch, mix-and-match, mass, and suspension. Frame structures are composed of long elements joined at the ends. Shell structures have a thin outer layer surrounding an empty or filled volume. Arches can be semicircular and were commonly made of stone in Roman times. Mix-and-match structures combine different structural elements. Mass structures are thick and made of clumped materials. Suspension structures hold beams from tall columns using cables.
Bridges
Bridges have fascinated humans for millennia, with the earliest known bridge built on the Nile around 2650 BC. Suspension bridges first used cables to enable people to walk across rivers, while pontoon bridges provided a floating solution. During the Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci studied bridge design and material strength. In the 19th century, iron and steel bridges rose to prominence, while reinforced concrete later became a significant building material. Common modern bridge types include beam, arch, suspension, and cantilever bridges.

7th Grade bridge introduction notes
A bridge is a structure that allows crossing over an obstacle. There are different types of bridges including beam, arch, suspension, and cable-stayed bridges. Beam bridges consist of a horizontal beam supported at each end by piers. Arch bridges carry weight outward along a curved arch to supports at each end. Suspension bridges suspend the roadway from main cables running between high towers. Cable-stayed bridges attach cables from the roadway directly to towers for support. Bridges must be designed to withstand their own weight plus expected traffic loads and environmental forces.
Bridges and their types
Designs of bridges vary depending on the function of the bridge, the nature of the terrain where the bridge is constructed and anchored, the material used to make it, and the funds available to build it. This module explains the types of bridges and their design characteristics.

Bridges: history, forces, and types
Bridges have a long history, evolving from fallen logs to more advanced suspension bridges as rope technology improved. Civil engineers design modern bridges, applying their strong math and science backgrounds to withstand forces like tension, compression, shear, and torsion. The main types of bridges are beam, truss, arch, suspension, and cable-stay bridges, each utilizing tension and compression differently depending on their design and how loads move across them.

Building-Bridges-PowerPoint-NXPowerLite.pptx
1. Bridges are structures built to span obstacles like bodies of water, valleys, or roads. Their design depends on their function, the terrain, materials used, and available funds.
2. Common bridge types include beam, truss, and suspension bridges. Beam bridges have horizontal beams supported at each end. Truss bridges use connected elements under tension or compression. Suspension bridges are suspended from cables between towers.
3. Forces on bridges include compression, tension, bending, torsion, and shear. Compression pushes while tension pulls. Bending causes curvature. Torsion causes twisting. Shear results in sliding forces. Engineers must consider these forces during bridge design.
Structures
The document discusses structures and the forces that act upon them. It explains that gravity causes weight forces that must be counteracted through structural support and stability. Structures like buildings, bridges and towers are designed using principles like distributing strain forces through triangular compositions and ensuring the center of gravity remains inside the structure. Examples of structural failures are also examined, highlighting the importance of efficiency ratings and withstanding critical loads.
Building Structures - Fettucine Bridge
This document summarizes a student group's project to design and construct a fettuccine truss bridge with a 600mm clear span and maximum weight of 150g. It describes their methodology, which included material testing, precedent study of the Taylor-Southgate Bridge, multiple prototype designs, and structural analysis. Their final bridge design utilized I-beams, laminated fettuccine, and butt joints between members based on lessons learned from prototypes that deflected or broke.

Alex mancino apocalypse now
Francis Ford Coppola's film Apocalypse Now is an adaptation of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness set during the Vietnam War. The film follows Captain Willard on his mission to assassinate Colonel Kurtz, who has gone mad while stationed upriver. As Willard gets closer to Kurtz, he slowly descends into madness himself due to the horrors of war. Through symbols like Willard's journey up the river and the army base lit up against the jungle, Coppola shows how war changes men and makes them lose their humanity. By killing Kurtz, Willard is finally freed from the insanity of the war. The film uses irony to question who the real savages are and whether

Alex mancino malcolm x
Malcolm X gives a speech to a small group of Muslims where he reveals his views of white people having joined the Nation of Islam. He uses pathos to connect emotionally with his audience by appealing to their anger over the oppression and crimes committed against black people, such as slavery. Malcolm also employs powerful loaded words with negative connotations about white people and repeats words like "devil" and "slave" to reinforce his message. Through these rhetorical techniques, Malcolm aims to transform the thinking of his audience and gain more followers for the Nation of Islam's agenda.

Tay Sachs disease is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the HEXA gene, resulting in a buildup of fatty substances in the brain and nerves. It primarily affects infants and children, causing progressive mental and physical deterioration. There is currently no cure, and most children with Tay Sachs die by age 5. It is an autosomal recessive disorder, requiring one defective copy of the gene from each parent. Children of carriers have a 25% chance of inheriting both defective copies and developing the disease.

Alex mancino rainbow
- 1. Alex Mancino Physics Bridge Project A. Identify the bridge 1. The bridge that I am going to model is the Rainbow Bridge, which is located in Tokyo, Japan. 2. I chose the Rainbow Bridge because I liked its simple yet strong design. I think I will be able to closely model it, and be successful with it. 3. The Rainbow Bridge 4. The Rainbow Bridge is a suspension bridge. Suspension bridges have a deck that is held under suspension cables. The deck is then supported on pillars for added strength. Any tension is held in the cables, and the pillars handle any compression.
- 2. B. Explain the Science 1. a. Dead load- the total weight of a single structure. In this case the weight of the bridge. Live load- this is the weight that is added to the dead load. So this would be like cars on a bridge, or the weights we are going to use to test our bridges. Wind load- this is how much wind a structure can withstand without failing. So how much wind can our bridges take without breaking. b. Tension- this is the force that can stretch or elongate an object. In a suspension bridges case the cables handle the tension. Compression- this is when an object has weight on top of it and it is pressed down and compressed. In a bridges case the pillars are what take all the compression force because all the weight is on top of them. Stress- this is the physical pressure that is exerted onto one object by another. In the bridges case stress will occur when weight is added on top of it.
- 3. c. These six properties should be divided into two groups because the first three describe how the bridge is designed and acts as a whole when it is affected by a force, while the last three describe how different pieces of the bridge are effected by forces put on them. i.e. added weight will compress the pillars, but put tension on the cables. The things the first three properties have in common are that they are all loads, while the last three are all forces. 2. There are four basic bridge designs. The first type is a simple beam bridge where you have two supports that simply hold up a beam. This could just be a plank of wood over a stream. Next there is the arch bridge, which is just an arched design form on starting point to another. These are very strong but require a lot of material. These bridges are good in most real world situations, such as crossing two cliffs that are close to each other. Next there is the classic suspension bridge that uses cable and pillars for extra strength. These are often used in the real world to cross rivers in densely populated areas like cities. They can be made very wide and can hold a lot of weight. Lastly there is the cantilever bridge. This bridge consists of two beams that support another beam across the middle.
