In one paragraph, describe and explain what is a cantilever bridge?
A cantilever bridge is a bridge constructed by using cantilevers which are structures that is extented horizontally into space which is supported on only one end. A balcony that stick out from a structure would be an example of a cantilever.

Q2 (A) Explain Kelvin's double arm bridge. bridge overcoming limitations of a wheat one
1) The Department Of Transportation of a Municipality is planning to construct an additional bridge to speed up evacuation in case of an emergency. Two sol utions are considered, both with a 50 years life span: Cantilever Suspension Bridge Bridge 550 600 Construction Cost 100 Land Acquisition 120 3 2.5 Annual 0&M 0.3 0.4 Annual 0&M increase 210 Major Maintenance (at 25 yrs) Decommissioning cost 190 30 25 (NOTE: all costs are in Million $) The Department uses an interest...

A bridge oscillates too much during high winds. The bridge is modeled as a spring with simple harmonic motion. The mass of the bridge is 5.0x106 kg and its spring constant is 4.9x10' N/m. The peak vertical displacement of the bridge is 1.0 m from its equilibrium position. In order to reduce this motion, dampers are added to the bridge with a damping coefficient of 3.13x10² kg/s. a) Derive, but do not solve, the equation of motion which describes the...
