PUBLIC ROADS On-Line (Winter 1997) - Timber Bridges in the United States (4692 words)
One focus of modern timber bridges is the use of previously rarely used species that are native to the particular region of the United States and generally yield smaller sizes and lower grades of lumber.
The development and use of iron in these bridges soon led to the use of iron lower chords and other components, and this was followed by the combination bridges consisting of iron diagonals and lower chords with timber used as compression members.
Timber bridges built on the National Highway System (NHS) must conform to AASHTO standards for highway bridges , but bridges not on the NHS may be designed in accordance with the standards of the applicable state .
Politics of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (5370 words)
Politics of the United States of America takes place in a framework of a federal presidential representative democratic republic, whereby the President of the United States is both head of state and head of government, and of a pluriform multi-party system.
Its structure is similar to that of the state and national governments, with an elected mayor as chief of the executive branch and an elected council that represents the various neighborhoods forming the legislative branch.
State legislators began to enact tough laws that made it harder for minor political parties to run candidates for office by requiring a high number of petition signatures from citizens and decreasing the length of time that such a petition could legally be circulated.
