At the turn of the century in 2000, the Millennium Bridge (Britain) not only built the Millennium shed in southeast London and the Ferris wheel in the city center, but also set up a dazzling "silver belt" on the Thames-the Millennium Bridge. Compared with 28 ancient, dignified, strong and vigorous "predecessors", this newly born "little sister" is particularly different with its concise and lively structure, light and slender shape and continuous, smooth and energetic aesthetic feeling.
Compared with the huge and majestic stone, cement or steel piers on other bridges on the Thames, this "silver belt" is only supported by a pair of Y-shaped hollow metal piers not far from the river bank. Just like a person welcoming tourists with open arms. There are no rigid beams between the piers of this bridge, only eight steel cables fixed at both ends of the shore are hung between the piers. Each group of four steel cables are respectively supported on the two arms of the "Ya" shape. Two steel bars are connected by a plurality of light metal beams. When the metal plate is put on the beam, it becomes a slender "silver belt bridge", thus forming its simple and lightweight structure, slender and smooth shape and fresh and elegant aesthetic feeling. The beautiful Millennium Bridge extends directly from the north bank to the entrance of tate modern on the south bank. Its purpose is to send the admirers of art directly to the palace of modern art. ..
The Millennium Bridge was officially opened to traffic on May 13, 2000. Her admirers surged, and the light "silver belt" of everyone's footsteps began to shake on the water. Only three days after the Millennium Bridge was opened, the authorities issued an order to suspend its use!
Math Bridge (Cambridge University, UK) On the quiet Jianhe River, there is an ancient wood truss Bridge-Math Bridge. The most famous bridge in this area has been accompanied by the oldest building along the Jianhe River-the red brick residence of the Dean of Queen's College, Cambridge University, which has gone through more than 250 years.
The legend of "Mathematical Bridge" is a household name in Cambridge. According to legend, the great mathematician Newton personally designed and built the bridge when he was teaching in Cambridge. The whole bridge is not fixed with nails and screws. Later, in order to explore the mystery of the bridge, the students of Queen's College took it apart for analysis, but it could not be restored and had to be fixed again with nails.
It is also said that this is the masterpiece of British bridge designer William Esridge when he was studying at Queen's College. In addition, he was inspired by Chinese bridges after traveling in the East.
According to research, Newton could not have built the bridge. The Mathematical Bridge was built in 1749, and Newton died in 1727. It can only be said that Cambridge people love Newton so much that they always associate many stories with him.
In fact, the bridge was built by James Essex Jr. according to Esrich's design. The prototype of modern steel beam bridge is displayed, and the included angle between adjacent trusses of the bridge body is 1 1.25 degrees. In the18th century, this design was called geometric structure, so this bridge was named "Mathematical Bridge".
