I-35W bridge occurred. On August 1‚ 2007 the 1‚907 foot long bridge collapsed leaving dozens of cars and trucks trapped and in the Mississippi River. The accident left 13 people dead and caused for 145 to be injured. This paper talks about the structural form of the I-35W Bridge‚ some circumstances that lead to the collapse‚ why the bridge fell

b. Describe the form The main structural framing is RCC columns & concrete beam with load bearing walls. The roof structure was formed by concrete flat plate connected with the RCC columns. For external beauty and simplicity of shape the formation was made. A large cantilever portion uses as terrace makes the external view very lucrative which is also light weight for construction. Approximate mass calculation of the Fiore House structure are shown in below from the following plan: c. Compare

COMMENTARY Engineering teaching and research in IITs and its impact on India* Milind Sohoni This note analyses the nature of research and development (R&D) as it is practised in our premier engineering institutes and its effect on India’s development. I argue that the dominant paradigm of R&D is too abstract for it to be accessible to a wider set of students and teachers‚ and for it to yield developmental dividends. Furthermore‚ our metrics for R&D are too ‘international’ to incentivize work

Reservoir engineering is a branch of petroleum engineering that applies scientific principles to the drainage problems arising during the development and production of oil and gas reservoirs so as to obtain a high economic recovery. The working tools of the reservoir engineer are subsurface geology‚ applied mathematics‚ and the basic laws of physics and chemistry governing the behavior of liquid and vapor phases of crude oil‚ natural gas‚ and water in reservoir rock. Of particular interest to reservoir

installations present numerous alternatives and challenges for designers and contractors‚ DIPRA does not provide recommendations and does not assume responsibility for design or installation practices on such projects. DIPRA does‚ however‚ recognize the engineering complexities inherent to bridge crossing pipelines and offers information to assist those involved with this type of installation and points out typical design criteria which should be considered for bridge crossings.
