Suspension Bridge Reports Samples For Students

Engineering

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 ...

Abstract

Bridges are the most complicated structures to design in the Engineering field. The following experiment conducted using spaghetti and any type of glue in building a bridge model. The experiment involved testing how much weight can the spaghetti hold in tensile using a tensile strength testing machine. The experiment aimed at making a practical representation of real bridges and the forces on them. Three main real bridges are discussed, truss bridge, srch bridge, and suspension bridge. The tests were conducted through hanging weights on the constructed spagheti bridge and determining the breaking loads. The experiment result analysis showed that truss pattern brigdes ...

The Clifton Suspension Bridge stands out as one of the historic bridges which span the Avon George and the River Avon joining Clifton in Bristol to Leighwoods in North Somerset. The bridge opened in the year 1864 and was designed by the engineering quintessential Isambard Kingdom Brunel. This paper seeks to analyze the engineering and construction challenges that faced the designers of this most historic suspension bridge.
The construction of this bridge took almost a total of three decades that is, from the first laying of the foundations stone in the year 1836 to the year 1864 when it was ...
