  • Suspension Bridges
    Types of Bridges What are bridges used for? What bridges have you seen in real life? Where were they? Were they designed for people to walk over? Do you know the name and location of any famous bridges? Did you know that there is more than one type of design for bridges? Let’s take a look at some of them. Suspension Bridges A suspension bridge uses ropes, chains or cables to hold the bridge in place. Vertical cables are spaced out along the bridge to secure the deck area (the part that you walk or drive over to get from one side of the bridge to the other). Suspension bridges can cover large distances. Large pillars at either end of the waterways are connected with cables and the cables are secured, usually to the ground. Due to the variety of materials and the complicated design, suspension bridges are very expensive to build. Suspension Bridges The structure of suspension bridges has changed throughout the years. Jacob’s Creek Bridge in Pennsylvania was built in 1801. It was the first suspension bridge to be built using wrought iron chain suspensions. It was 21 metres long. If one single link in a chain is damaged, it weakens the whole chain which could lead to the collapse of the bridge. For this reason, wire or cable is used in the design of suspension bridges today. Even though engineer James Finlay promised that the bridge would stay standing for 50 years, it was damaged in 1825 and replaced in 1833. Suspension Bridges Akashi Kaiko Bridge, Japan The world’s longest suspension bridge is the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in Japan.

  • Canal Grande (The Grand Canal)
    Canal Grande (The Grand Canal) Night shot of the Canal Grande or Grand Canal of Venice, Italy The Canal Grande and the Canale della Giudecca are the two most important waterways in Venice. They undoubtedly fall into the category of one of the premier tourist attractions in Venice. The Canal Grande separates Venice into two distinct parts, which were once popularly referred to as 'de citra' and 'de ultra' from the point of view of Saint Mark's Basilica, and these two parts of Venice are linked by the Rialto bridge. The Rialto Bridge is the most ancient bridge in Venice.; it is completely made of stone and its construction dates back to the 16th century. The Canal Grande or the Grand Canal forms one of the major water-traffic corridors in the beautiful city of Venice. The most popular mode of public transportation is traveling by the water bus and by private water taxis. This canal crisscrosses the entire city of Venice, and it begins its journey from the lagoon near the train station and resembles a large S-shape through the central districts of the "sestiere" in Venice, and then comes to an end at the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute near the Piazza San Marco. The major portion of the traffic of the city of Venice goes along the Canal Grande, and thus to avoid congestion of traffic there are already three bridges – the Ponte dei Scalzi, the Ponte dell'Accademia, and the Rialto Bridge, while another bridge is being constructed. The new bridge is designed by Santiago Calatrava, and it will link the train station to the Piazzale Roma.

Often, such significance is determined by the city’s geographical location which relates to important aspects like access to water routes and other cities. Venice serves as a great example of a citiy that was heavily influenced by its location. The challenges it faced as a city on the water, along with the advantages it had as a bridge between the west and east, led to a peculiar urban and architectural development. Its rapid growth and the monuments built during the Byzantine Empire remarkably illustrate such impacts of its location. Venice, located in northeast Italy, is composed of 118 islands which are separated by canals and linked by bridges. The city was originally founded in the seventh century, by the mainland Romans who were fleeing barbarian

    PENSACOLA BAY BRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROJECT Popsicle Stick Bridge Lesson Plan – Unit V ARCH BRIDGE Objective: “Arch Bridges.” After this lesson, students should be able to do the following: • discuss different types of arch bridge designs; • understand how the arch bridge supports load (dead and live) and how the forces are applied; and • determine the elements of an arch bridge. Summary: Through a PowerPoint presentation, students will learn about arch bridges and how they manage the natural forces of compression and tension. They will also find out about the elements important to arch bridge construction. Materials: PowerPoint presentation, 2 2” x 12” strips of cardboard per student, and a stack of books (to test bridge strength).

  • Measure Results
    Access and traffic management in the Grand Canal through ARGOS Measure title: (Automatic Remote Grand Canal Observation System) City: Venice Project: MOBILIS Measure number: 6.11.V A Introduction The measure 6.11 focuses on establishing an innovative control system for boats entering the Grand Canal, the main artery for traffic in the historical city of Venice. The proposed action is part of a large- scale initiative launched by the City of Venice to enforce regulations in force, provide continuous monit oring of waterborne traffic density and flows and contribute to the development of new traffic management policies A1 Objectives The main measure objective is to implement a Grand Canal automatic control and data management system (ARGOS) which supports enforcement of regulations in force and provides continuous monitoring and data which can contribute to the development of new traffic management policies. Objectives through ARGOS are therefore: · to enforce city regulations previously emanated regarding access and speed limits in the Grand Canal limited traffic zone; · to enforce city regulations on other traffic management issues in the Grand Canal limited traffic zone (parking, timetable, wrong way circulation, etc.); · to provide accurate, systematic and continuous measurement of traffic density and flow. The system provides information on the exact number, types and speed of boats navigating in the Grand Canal. This will allow for the development of traffic management policies through instruments such as the water traffic management-modelling tool, which is a MOBILIS initiative (measure 12.6): “Management decision support system for waterborne traffic in Venice”; · to complement other traffic management instruments such as that in measure 12.5 “Satellite control (GPS-GPRS) for water PT services in Venice”.

THE SCOTSMAN "Those who travel for the sake of culture will be well catered for in Mr. Grant Allen's new series of historical guides. There are few more satisfactory books for a student who wishes to dig out the Paris of the past from the im- mense superincumbent mass of coffee-houses, kiosks, fashionable hotels, and other temples of civilisation, beneath which it is now submerged. Florence is more easily dug up, as you have only to go into the picture galleries, or into the churches or museums, whither Mr. Allen's^ guide accordingly conducts you, and tells you what to look at if you want to understand the art treasures of the city. The books, in a word, explain rather than describe. Such books are wanted nowadays.

  • Venice in a Day by Boat
    SHORE EXCURSION BROCHURE FROM THE PORT OF VENICE DURATION 10 hr Venice in a Day by Boat TOUR DIFFICULTY EASY MEDIUM HARD his private tour departs directly from your cruise ship at the port of TVenice and is ideal for first-time visitors to Venice. The tour features a private boat tour of the Grand Canal that ends in the famed St. Mark’s Square where you will visit the Cathedral of Venice, St. Mark’s Basilica, with the richness of its marbles and mosaics; the Doge’s palace, fourteenth cen- tury building from where the ancient Venetian republic exerted the control over the city and the bridge of Sighs, the enclosed bridge made of white limestone that passes over the Rio di Palazzo and connects the New Prison (Prigioni Nuove) to the interrogation rooms in the Doge’s Palace. he view from the Bridge of Sighs was the last view of Venice that con- Tvicts saw before their imprisonment. The bridge name, given by Lord as a translation from the Italian “Ponte dei sospiri” in the 19th century, comes from the suggestion that prisoners would sigh at their final view of beautiful Venice through the window before being taken down to their cells. After this enchanting experience your guide will accompany you by private boat to nearby Burrano for a stroll along the canal bordered by the colorful buildings that make the island-town famous. After a delicious lunch, you will have time to enjoy the local piazza and shop for the embroidered treasures that are made locally. Alternatively, your captain and guide will take you to the famed glass making island of Murano where you will visit a glass making workshop and visit the Murano glass museum.
