**Do you know The Golden Gate Bridge?? ** media type="custom" key="27170574"

 Bridges are technological tools that aim to solve the problem of crossing an obstacle such as rivers or cliffs. There are many types of bridges: The Beam Bridge, The Arch Bridge, The Suspension Bridge and The Cable-Stayed Bridge, among others.

The Suspension Bridges that use ropes or cables from the vertical suspender to hold the weight of bridge deck and traffic. Example of suspension bridge is Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.

The Golden Gate Bridge was created because after the First World War the road traffic in the region of the San Francisco Bay increased sevenfold, so that the ferry system was unable to absorb this growth. It was the greatest engineering work of its time. Aerea view of the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, CA, USA

The Golden Gate is a steel bridge that has two central pillars supporting the entire structure with a length of approximately 2.7 km, a six lane driveway and on both sides of the bridge, two pedestrian bridges also provide access for bicycles. The anchors of the towers are made of concrete. It was painted urgently to prevent rapid oxidation produced in the steel structure by the Pacific Ocean.  Can you see the pedestrian?

Oh my good. T hat looks scary!!  The Golden Gate is a bridge that in the past seven decades, endured countless earthquakes, including the devastating 1989 of 7.1 on the Richter scale. After erecting the two huge towers, the design team realized that these towers did not offer an aesthetic that was at the height of the monumental work, so after several studies came up with the brilliant idea to give the bridge Art Deco style, booming during those years.
