    structures and indeterminate structures. Generally, it is actually not possible to perform an exact analyze of a structure. Hence, approximations for structure geometry, material limit and boundary, loading type and magnitude must be made. Determinate structure simply means that all the forces in the structure can be determined from the equilibrium equation. If there are more unknowns than the equation, the structure is indeterminate.

    Woolf creates a rhythmic, wave-like form of undulating passages as in music, where the structure of parts within an individual movement is a continuous flow rather than a series of stops and starts. She identifies language itself as a volatile and indeterminate system of mirroring suggestions; reality as potentially unknowable, and the novel form itself as inclined to substantial change to accommodate these perspectives. Virginia Woolf renounces the narrative persona as a sort of privileged extra character

  • The Ashtabula Bridge Tragedy

    On December 29, 1876, a train was crossing over a railroad bridge spanning the Ashtabula River when the entire bridge collapsed, sending most of the train into the frigid water below. This disaster would be the deadliest bridge disaster in the United States. Investigators quickly tried to determine why this bridge, after eleven years of service, collapsed. The investigators would ultimately place the blame on the president of the Ashtabula Railroad Company, Amasa Stone. The bridge was constructed

    To begin to understand the mathematics behind building a bridge we need find out the different types of a bridges. The definition of a bridge is a structure carrying a road, path, or railroad across a geographic obstacle. There are three different types of bridges. They are: beam/arch bridges, suspension bridges, and truss bridges. Modern beam bridges usually span up to 200 feet, modern arch bridges can span across 800-1,000 feet, while Suspension bridges can span from 2,000-7,000 feet ("HowStuffWorks")

    (ISO-STATIC) A system is considered statically determinate if the support reaction or unknown forces can be calculated by all three the forces of equilibrium equations. The equations can be solved independently. The equations are as follow: ∑x forces = 0 ∑y forces= 0 ∑ moments about a point= 0 Some of the examples of iso-static are: cantilever beams, supported beams, arches. In-determinate systems: (HYPER-STATIC): A system is considered as statically in-determinate system if unknown forces
