  • The Epic Story of the Building of the Brooklyn Bridge Kindle
    THE GREAT BRIDGE: THE EPIC STORY OF THE BUILDING OF THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK David McCullough | 636 pages | 12 Jan 1983 | SIMON & SCHUSTER | 9780671457112 | English | New York, United States The Great Bridge: The Epic Story of the Building of the Brooklyn Bridge PDF Book With two main spans of feet each, the bridge will connect a small, paved park at the north end of the historic Brooklyn Heights Promenade with the acclaimed new Brooklyn Bridge Park, an acre waterfront park designed by Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates featuring sweeping views of New York Harbor and the Manhattan skyline. John Roebling severely injured his foot in a freak accident as he was surveying the spot where the Brooklyn tower would be built. Be sure, too, to look out for the historical plaques and bronze panoramas installed along the bridge route to help enlighten your surroundings along the way. The once-favored suspension bridge recently gave way to cable-stayed, because cable-stayed bridges can cover longer spans for less money. Read the historical markers on the Brooklyn Bridge to learn more about its construction and history. If you're planning to walk the bridge , give yourself enough time to take photos and to enjoy the spectacular view of the Manhattan skyline. Workers had been shoring up the creaky structure since , reinforcing rusting steel supports and patching the crumbling concrete. The massive under-girding. It's the best option for a bridge built over the Hudson, because it allows only the vertical weight of the bridge to extend to the riverbed.

  • Dear US Newnham Alumnae, I Firstly Want to Say Thank You for Providing
    Dear US Newnham Alumnae, I firstly want to say thank you for providing me with this incredible opportunity to spend my summer in the US. I am in the midst of a PhD addressing how responsible bridge construction and management can improve the lives of people around the world. Asset owners require better monitoring systems than currently exist, and further exploration within this field is essential. This trip to the US has given me some incredible opportunities to understand advances in this field, new methods being deployed in the US as well as exchange ideas and build collaborations for the remainder of my PhD research. As a bit of background about my research: it examines advances in satellite measurement technologies and understand their relevance, utilisation, and limitations to bridge and infrastructure monitoring. These data sets can be used in comparison with traditional measurement techniques from sensors installed on bridges. They can also be complemented with traditional measurement techniques to provide a more effective strategy for interpreting data to provide useful information and value to asset owners. New York City, NY I landed in New York JFK airport on a warm summer evening and bundled myself into the classic NYC big yellow cab. On arrival, I was warmly met at the start of my journey by Newnham alumna Margaret Campbell, who kindly hosted me during my time in New York. My hosts had already clipped out an interesting article about the Squibb Park Bridge, a $4.1 million footbridge that connects Brooklyn Heights and Brooklyn Bridge Park, which has been closed to the public since August 2014.
