Download or read book Seven Wonders of Engineering written by Ron Miller and published by Twenty-First Century Books. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In every age, science and technology have played an important role in advancing human civilization. From architecture to engineering, communication to transportation, humans have invented and developed extraordinary wonders. Engineers take the discoveries of scientists and mathematicians to make practical things, from roads and bridges to weapons and vehicles. Electronic engineers design and build everything from television sets to computers. Chemical engineers research new uses for plastics and other materials. Other engineers design new energy sources and nonpolluting factories. In this book, we’ll explore seven wonders of modern engineering that allow people to travel beneath the ocean, bring power to entire cities, and land on the moon. We’ll also see engineering wonders that cut though a continent and design engines too small to see. Along the way, we’ll see advancements in materials, technology, and construction techniques, and we’ll learn the stories of how and why these engineering feats became important to the world.

Download or read book America s Engineering Marvels written by Carol M. Highsmith and published by Crescent. This book was released on 2004-01-06 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renowned photographer Carol M. Highsmith and writer Ted Landphair take a fresh look at some of the most remarkable structures ever built in America. Many of the sights included, such as Hoover Dam, were built to serve a critical function; for others, like the St. Louis Arch or Mount Rushmore, the function was purely aesthetic or commemorative. But all are notable for their scale and the technological genius that went into constructing them. Travel-pictorial wizards Highsmith and Landphair turn themselves here to the wonder of industrial America. The "can-do" American spirit resonates behind every one of the sights included. A tribute to some of the most enterprising, ingenious, and visionary minds of the last century, this volume also reminds us of the lives lost and risks taken to get the job done. The fantastic oversize full-color photos of marvels like the Washington Monument, Brooklyn Bridge, and the 7.7-mile long Flathead Tunnel in Montana--the world's seventh longest railroad tunnel--are an unforgettable chronicle of American engineering at its best.

Download or read book Engineering Wonders of the World written by Archibald Williams and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Engineering Wonders of the World, Vol. 2 The Steel-frame Building, as we know it to-day, is a masterpiece of engineering skill. It provides accommodation for the population of a fair-sized town, and represents worthily the advances made in metallurgical and structural knowledge during the past fifty years. The genesis of the steel-frame building, known colloquially as the "sky-scraper," is due primarily to the high cost of sites in the great cities of the United States - notably New York, Chicago, and San Francisco - and the importance of having business offices in close proximity to the centre of commercial life. Although land is of great value in the central parts of London, Paris, and other European cities, it is always possible to extend the mercantile quarter into outer regions - a development which is constantly in operation. In places like Chicago and New York, however, there are obstacles to lateral expansion, and the inhabitants of those cities have adopted the policy of spreading themselves out vertically rather than laterally, by the aid of lofty steel-frame buildings. The business districts of New York cover the southern end of Manhattan Island, where land fetches enormous prices. A comer plot at the junction of Broadway and Wall Street sold for 120 a square foot - the highest price ever paid for a building site. The triangular site on which rises the famous Flat-Iron Building cost half a million pounds sterling. No wonder, then, that in New York engineers and architects have turned their attention very seriously to the problem of securing more ample office accommodation by increasing the height of buildings. With brick and stone the limit had been reached at from twelve to fourteen stories, as the necessary thickness of the walls at the foundations diminished the floor space to a serious extent.

With brick and stone the limit had been reached at from twelve to fourteen stories, as the necessary thickness of the walls at the foundations diminished the floor space to a serious extent. Architects therefore took advantage of the fact that mild steel is at least two hundred times stronger than brickwork in compression, and infinitely stronger in tension.
