What is the Golden Gate Brige made of and what is it's efficiency?
Answer
Dear Greg,<BR><BR>Thank you for submitting your question to AskNSDL. The Golden Gate Bridge has an interesting history, and there is quite a bit of material about it on the Internet. I performed a Google search, <A href=http://google.com">http://google.com</A>, on the phrase: "golden gate bridge".<BR><BR>I've listed below a few resources that provide the information you requested. You can link to each of the sites by clicking on the URL beneath its description.<BR><BR>* Construction Data: This information comes from the GoldenGateBridge. org website, <A href=http://www.goldengatebridge.org/">http://www.goldengatebridge.org/</A>. I clicked on the "Research Library" link from the left navigation panel. The top heading for "Design and Construction Statistics" will be helpful.<BR><A href=http://www.goldengatebridge.org/research/construction.html">http://www.goldengatebridge.org/research/construction.html</A><BR><BR>* PBS American Experience: Golden Gate Bridge: This website provides facts on the construction of the bridge. <BR><A href=http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/goldengate/">http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/goldengate/</A><BR><BR>For information about efficiency, you can search the GoldenGateBridge.org website on the keyword, "efficiency," and scan through the results to see if any of them will help. I did this and retrieved 48 documents. Unfortunately, the Annual Reports did not give any precise data, but I didn't review the other 46 results. You may find something valuable here.<BR><BR>I did perform another Google search on "Golden Gate Bridge" design efficiency. I found a weblisting of articles on SurfWax: Architectural News: News and Articles on Golden Gate Bridge (last update Feb. 21, 2005).<BR><A href=http://news.surfwax.com/architecture/files/Golden_Gate_Bridge.html">http://news.surfwax.com/architecture/files/Golden_Gate_Bridge.html</A><BR><BR>Using the "Find" Function from your browser's "Edit" menu (or press Control + F on your keyboard) search for "efficiency." There are two articles regarding a new bridge in France that "rivals the Golden Gate Bridge in efficiency". You may have to do some deductive reasoning, but perhaps the information on the French bridge will provide keys to efficiency data for the Golden Gate Bridge.<BR><BR>I hope this information helps. Be sure to check your library for more materials on this topic.<BR><BR>Best,<BR>Joyce W.<BR>Librarian/AskNSDL staff<BR><BR><BR><A href=">http://www.goldengatebridge.org/research/construction.html"></A><BR><BR> <BR><BR>
