This document discusses different types of bridges and their histories. It begins by defining what a bridge is and explaining that bridge designs vary based on their function and location. It then provides a brief history of bridge development from 700 AD to present day, including examples like Roman arch bridges and suspension bridges. The rest of the document defines and describes the six main types of bridges: beam, cantilever, arch, suspension, cable-stayed, and truss bridges. It also discusses floating bridges and culverts. Forces, materials, and spans for each bridge type are outlined.

A bridge is the key element in a transportation system; it controls both the volume and weight of the traffic. Balance must be achieved between handling future traffic volume and loads and the cost of heavier and wider bridge structure. Economic Analysis and comparisons against competing alternatives is required as Bridges are the most expensive part of a road transportation network. Monetized & Non-Monetized Benefits that will accrue like time savings to road users, benefits to business activities (and to the economy in general) and salvage value benefits like Right-of-Way and substructure use need to be assessed as well.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

3. Bridge is a structure built to span a valley,
road, river, body of water, or any other
physical obstacle.
Designs of bridges will vary depending on the
function of the bridge and the nature of the
area where the bridge is to be constructed.

Basic Concepts
Span - the distance between two
bridge supports, whether they are
columns, towers or the wall of a
canyon.

Force -
Concrete has good compressive strength, but
extremely weak tensile strength. What about steel
cables?
7. Basic Concepts
Beam - a rigid, usually horizontal, structural
element
Pier - a vertical supporting structure, such as a
pillar
Cantilever - a projecting structure supported only at one
end, like a shelf bracket or a diving board
Beam
Pier
Load - weight on a structure
8. There are six main types of bridges:
1. beam bridges
2. cantilever bridges
3. arch bridges
4. suspension bridges
5. cable-stayed bridges and
6. truss bridges
9. Consists of a horizontal beam supported at
each end by piers. The weight of the beam
pushes straight down on the piers. The farther
apart its piers, the weaker the beam becomes.
This is why beam bridges rarely span more than
250 feet.
10. Forces
When something pushes down on the
beam, the beam bends. Its top edge is pushed
together, and its bottom edge is pulled apart.
13. A cantilever bridge is a bridge built using
cantilevers: structures that project
horizontally into space, supported on only
one end.
14. The arch has great natural strength.
Thousands of years ago, Romans built arches
out of stone. Today, most arch bridges are
made of steel or concrete, and they can span
up to 800 feet.
15. Forces
The arch is squeezed together, and this squeezing force
is carried outward along the curve to the supports at each
end. The supports, called abutments, push back on the
arch and prevent the ends of the arch from spreading
apart.
Types of Bridges
Arch Bridges

17. Suspension Bridges
This kind of bridges can span 2,000 to 7,000 feet -- way
farther than any other type of bridge! Most suspension
bridges have a truss system beneath the roadway to
resist bending and twisting.
Types of Bridges
18. Forces
In all suspension bridges, the roadway hangs from
massive steel cables, which are draped over two towers
and secured into solid concrete blocks, called
anchorages, on both ends of the bridge. The cars push
down on the roadway, but because the roadway is
suspended, the cables transfer the load into compression
in the two towers. The two towers support most of the
bridge's weight.

21. The cable stayed bridge is newer than the
other types of bridge. Large upright steel
supports are used to transmit the load into
the ground.
22.
23. Truss Bridge
All beams in a truss bridge are straight. Trusses are
comprised of many small beams that together can
support a large amount of weight and span great
distances.
24.
25. •Pontoon bridges are supported by floating
pontoons with sufficient buoyancy to support
the bridge and dynamic loads.
•While pontoon bridges are usually temporary
structures, some are used for long periods of
time.
•Permanent floating bridges are useful for
traversing features lacking strong bedrock for
traditional piers.
•Such bridges can require a section that is
elevated, or can be raised or removed, to allow
ships to pass.
