The Bridge

Strategic Planning for the National Bridge Stock of Iran

The National Bridge Stock of Iran consists of about 330,000 bridges, of which around 50% are older than 30 years. Since 2010, Iran Road Maintenance & Transportation Organization has started implementing a comprehensive Bridge Management System in order to manage this aged stock efficiently. To predict future conditions of bridge stock, a heuristic numerical method is presented. This methodology...

An Investigation Into the Vehicle-Curved Bridge Dynamic Interaction

Estimating piping around bridge piers using the SSIIM software

Estimating maximum scour depth is normally required in order to determine the depth of  bridge piles. The present paper uses the SSIIM Software which considers flow and sediment equations in a three dimensional manner. The software models flow field around circular bridge pile by resolving Navier-Stokes three-dimensional equations and k-  method, and by temporary solution of flow field and cont...

The Kelly scrotal bridge.

Elevation of the penis and scrotum after scrotal and pelvic surgery has the salutory effects of facilitating the resolution of postoperative swelling while simultaneously preventing the development of dependent edema. Previously, the desired degree of postoperative genital suspension has been achieved by employing an athletic supporter and by placing towel rolls beneath the scrotum. These measu...

The Bay Bridge: A High Speed Bridge/Router

The Bay Bridge is a high performance bridge/router capable of bridging and routing over 100,000 packets per second between two network ports. The first prototype provides a platform for the investigation of very high speed bridging and routing in hardware. High throughput is achieved by a specialised processor: The Protocol Converter, a programmable device for translating between network protoc...
