PDF-[DOWNLOAD]-The Bridge: The Building of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge

Toward the end of 1964 the Verrazano Narrows Bridgelinking the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Staten Islandwas completed Fifty years later it remains an engineering marvel At 13700 feet more than two and a half miles it is still the longest suspension bridge in the United States and the sixth longest in the worldGay Talese then early in his career at the New York Times closely followed the construction and soon after the opening of this marvel of human ingenuity and engineering he chronicled the human drama of its completionfrom the construction workers high on the beams to the backroom dealing that displaced whole neighborhoods to make way for the bridge Now in a new beautifully packaged edition featuring dozens of breathtaking photos and architectural drawings The Bridge remains both a riveting narrative of politics and courage and a demonstration of Taleses consummate skills as a reporter and storyteller His memorable narrative will help celebrate the bridges fiftieth anniversary and captivate a new generation of readers.

What is Special About the Bridge?. Post collapse note the sagging deck . Basics at the time.. At the time bridges were built as static, no movement so the stress to the bridge was not considered when it came to wind, or water flow. The bridge was symmetric allowing the harmonics full range, no direction of forces away from the structure,. The Romans frequently built bridges with several small arches on top of one another..

Not all of this is necessary, but all of it is very helpful.. “One only needs two tools in life: WD-40 to make things go, and duct tape to make them stop.”. - Quantitative results.

The dramatic and enthralling story of the building of the Brooklyn Bridge, the world’s longest suspension bridge at the time, a tale of greed, corruption, and obstruction but also of optimism, heroism, and determination, told by master historian David McCullough.This monumental book is the enthralling story of one of the greatest events in our nation’s history, during the Age of Optimism—a period when Americans were convinced in their hearts that all things were possible. In the years around 1870, when the project was first undertaken, the concept of building an unprecedented bridge to span the East River between the great cities of Manhattan and Brooklyn required a vision and determination comparable to that which went into the building of the great cathedrals. Throughout the fourteen years of its construction, the odds against the successful completion of the bridge seemed staggering. Bodies were crushed and broken, lives lost, political empires fell, and surges of public emotion constantly threatened the project. But this is not merely the saga of an engineering miracle it is a sweeping narrative of the social climate of the time and of the heroes and rascals who had a hand in either constructing or exploiting the surpassing enterprise.
