pLEASE TELL ME ABOUT Wheatstone Bridge?
470740
The Wheatstone bridge is used to determine an unknown resistance (Rx in our case) by adjusting a known resistance so that the measured current is zero. , Tip: To  In this case the formula for Rx is given by Rx=(R1/R2)*R4.

Rennie.  \nHis London Bridge granite facings were shipped to Lake Havasu City, Arizona, and built into a new bridge there in 1971. \nThe great breakwater at Plymouth England make it the one of the best harbours in the world for close to 200 years.\nIt took a while to find the name :)

It was poorly designed for the area that it was built.  \n\nThe wind gusting would set up a harmonic longitudinal resonance in the bridge that caused it to ripple along it's length like waves on the ocean.  It was this effect that gave it the nickname "Galloping Gertie" and caused seasickness for those who used it.\n\nThe bridge eventually tore itself apart, but from a different cause which was identified as "torsional mode".   Basically, the bridge acted like an airfoil.  In a strong cross gust, part of the bridge began to exhibit aerodynamic lift and increased its angle of attack, then that section would reach its stall point and drop.\n\nHere's video footage of the failure, http://www.camerashoptacoma.com/narrows.asp\n\nThe wikipedia entry is very informative, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacoma_Narrows_Bridge

I dont know that much about that but its pretty easy to find if you use search. Here is what I came up with for you.\nhttp://www.eenorthcarolina.org/public/ecoaddress/riverbasins/RoanokeRiverBasin.htm

Both answers are correct - but only one is a bridge!\n\nThe Dunlop Bridge is on the Dunlop Straight (which used to be called Starkey's Straight!).   It is next to the exhibition centre.\n\nStarkey's Bridge is the name of a corner on the opposite side of the circuit - but I cannot find out why it is called Starkey's bridge!\n\nThe website link gives a very good map of the circuit.   If you want a picture of the Dunlop Bridge, put that in Images on the yahoo home page.\n\nI hope that sets you a little straight!!!!

A Truss bridge is of old design, usually of wood or iron. Shifting of the ground can cause the truss to warp requiring costly repair. They do not allow much traffic beneath, such as over rivers. They are not pretty.\n\nA suspension bridge has extreme weight to be held by means of cables. Also, the pilons or towers require great strength and durability in the ground. Over time the towers and cables can give way. Some of the more notorius failures were due to wind causing the bridge to sway and eventually reaching resonant frequency. This has been caught on video tape. Quite a scene to watch.

I hope this Help you a little ..The Old State Road (Route 29)\nin Oppenheim\n\n \n\nHector Allen, Town Historian of Oppenheim wrote the following piece;  Dated 1/31/87.\nWith his knowledge, this article has been transrcibed and posted.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nThe bulk of this material is taken from an article done about 1903 by Robert L. Jeffers.  In his heading, he states that these are "facts gathered from Personal Observations by the Author, from Research and from Interviews with Aged People Who Remembered Many Incidents of their Youth." \n\nWhen I received this article from Mr. Lewis Decker, currently the Fulton County Historian, I went across the "Old State Road" to Mr. & Mrs. Lloyd Brown’s residence and talked to them about it.  The anecdotes I got from them are in parenthesis.\n\nThe original article starts in Salisbury and goes East through Oppenheim, Lassellsville, "Grab-all" or Garoga, Johnstown and to Tribes Hill.  I only have copied the parts pertinent to Oppenheim.\n\nThe Old State Road passed eastward through Salisbury Center, Herkimer County, and continuing its course about four miles crossed the East Canada Creek at Brockett’s Bridge, now Dolgeville, and entered what is now the county of Fulton. . . . .\n\nMr. Kibbie kept and owned the Manheim Hotel at Brockett’s Bridge about 60 years ago. The Hamlet derived its name from families of Brocketts who resided in that locality, some of whom were prominent politicians. One of the Brocketts was named as a Presidential Elector by one of the great political parties many years ago. . . . . . Some sixty years ago Mr. Kibbie, keeper of the Manheim Hotel, was about 40 years of age. He was quite a heavy built man and but little given to talking. He had a wife and children and died many years ago. The hotel was quite a large two-story building, with a basement and painted white. It stood on the west side of East Canada Creek in what is now the village of Dolgeville. It has passed through successive hands, been remodeled, but is still used as a hotel. The writer has taken his rations and slept the sleep of the just beneath the roof of that ancient hostelry.\n\nZephi Brockett kept the Brockett House just on the East side of the creek at Brockett’s Bridge about seventy years ago. He was a very cheerful, pleasant man and a very popular landlord. He was about 40 years of age, and kept the hotel for many years. He was a Whig in politics and a Methodist in religion. He never drank himself, nor would he sell liquor to a person who was intoxicated. He was mammoth in size, as was his wife. They were compelled to occupy separate seats when riding in a buggy or cutter. He had an extensive trade and accumulated lots of money. He had several children and died of dropsy and old age about 35 years ago. At his death he left seven or eight farms and other property to his descendants. Two of his sons are still living who reside in that locality. One of his sons sold Shaker’s Seeds on the road for many years. The Brockett House was a white, two-story wooden building with a long wing. It has ceased to be a hotel, but is still standing and occupied. The barn buildings were also very extensive. The property is said to be still in the hands of the Brocketts.\n\nRobert Higbie ran a hotel on the Old State Road, about five miles East from the Brockett House, some fifty years ago. He was then a tall, heavy built man, about forty-five years of age and slightly gray. He was quite a talker, a Democrat in politics and a Universalist in religion. He was one of the proprietors of the state route running from Albany to Watertown. He had a wife and several children. His youngest daughter married Jacob Stewart of Johnstown. Robert Higbie, who was quite a money-lender, later removed to Little Falls, where he died some twenty-five or thirty years ago. One of his sons passed through college and later became a la

I don't know if this really answers your question, but they are currently doing a seismic retrofit to the bridge wherein they are pretty much replacing the whole bridge piece by piece while it is still in use.  So I guess the answer right now is no, but hopefully yes when they are done.

The Oregon City Bridge is a steel arch bridge that spans the Willamette River between Oregon City and West Linn, Oregon. It was built and is owned by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) as part of Oregon Highway 43 and is the southernmost Willamette bridge in the Portland metropolitan area.\n\nThe bridge is 745 ft. (227 m) in length and 28 ft. (8½ m) wide with a 360 ft. (110 m) long main span that provides 49 ft. (15 m) of vertical clearance at low river levels. The narrow width causes problems for the two bus lines and other big vehicles that cross it, often times requiring traffic going in the other direction to stop. In addition, it is the only bridge in Oregon to be encased in gunite, which protects it from corrosion due to the sulfur dioxide emissions from paper mills south of the bridge. The concrete look was favored by bridge designer Conde McCullough, designer of 500 Oregon bridges. His signature detailing is evident in the obelisk pylons with sconced light fixtures, ornate railings, and Art Deco piers.\n\nThe Oregon City Bridge is just downstream from the 40 ft. tall Willamette Falls and the Willamette Falls Locks, the oldest navigational locks in the United States. Just upstream is the Abernethy Bridge and Interstate 205.\n\nThe bridge was built as a replacement of a pedestrian suspension bridge constructed in 1888. It was opened on December 28, 1922 at a cost of $300,000.\n\nThe piers were designed to accommodate public restrooms: decks widen at the piers to provide room for the stairways that descend to the restrooms. Repeated vandalism led in 1937 to the closure of the restrooms.\n\nAs of 2000 it carried 12,800 vehicles per day, which represents only a 40% growth in traffic since 1953, when a public debate was held about building a parallel bridge next to the existing bridge. While the Oregon City Bridge did not get twinned, the Abernethy Bridge opened in 1970 and has since become the major route through the area.

I have an idea for you. Go to the site I provided for the source. It's a truss bridge with an arch. The best of both worlds. The most important thing is the arch. That is where all of the strength comes from in a bridge. I hope that helps.
