After mixing, pouring, reinforcing and rising early each morning to water their concrete cylinder experiments for the past week, 55 students from Hudson Bend Middle School traveled to a University of Texas at Austin civil engineering laboratory to destroy their work.
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
Completed 1932
The design of the Sydney Harbour Bridge closely resembles the Hell Gate Bridge over the East River in New York City, conceived in 1916 by noted engineer Gustav Lindenthal and his chief assistant, O.H. Ammann.
The Sydney Harbour Bridge, with a span of 1,650 feet, is not only the longest single-arch bridge ever built outside of the United States; its 160-foot width - enough to carry eight lanes of automobile traffic, two sets of train tracks, a bicycle path, and a pedestrian walkway - also qualifies it as the widest long-span bridge anywhere in the world. Seated at the mouth of one of the world's most beautiful harbors, the bridge is a massive engineering achievement and a dramatic statement of Australia's standing among the leading nations of the 20th century.
The bridge and its approach spans, totaling 2 3/4 miles in length, required 52,000 tons of steel and more than 6,000,000 rivets to construct, in a job that lasted nine years. A pair of 285-foot granite-faced pylons at each end of the main span help anchor the bridge and add to its aesthetic appeal. Guided tours from a visitor's center and museum housed in one of the bridge's pylons allow intrepid climbers to cross the very top of the bridge's twin arches.

Pelham Ridge Elementary School was designed by Goodwyn Mills Cawood. Pelham Ridge Elementary is the first new construction school designed for the newly-formed Pelham City School Board. The new elementary school is a two-story brick and stone building with wood elements, which reflects the desired character and materiality of the existing schools in the district. Pelham Ridge incorporates a variety of learning environments in addition to the typical classroom. These supplemental learning spaces include two “break-out” learning spaces, a flexible classroom, and two courtyards. Two of the classroom wings adjacent to the courtyards are designed to function as storm shelters and meet the Alabama Building Commission’s state standard for storm shelters, ICC 500.

Lebanon, Pennsylvania
Completed 1827
According to oral history, George Washington visited the canal diggings in 1792, and then again in 1794, while he was accompanying troops to suppress the Whiskey Rebellion in Western Pennsylvania.
The Union Canal Tunnel was a crucial structure allowing the connection of the eastern and western branches of the 82-mile Union Canal. The canal snaked from Middletown on to Reading, where it converged with the Schuylkill River, providing a direct water link from Harrisburg to Philadelphia. The oldest existing tunnel in the U.S., it was created through 729 feet of solid slate rock with veins of hard, flinty limestone. It was constructed through the ridge dividing the Quittapahilla Creek and Clark's Run.
As early as the 1760s, consideration was given to constructing a waterway that would speed shipments between the east and the west. In 1791 the Pennsylvania Assembly passed an act authorizing the formation of the Schuylkill and Susquehanna Navigation Company, whose purpose was to connect the two rivers by canal. Work was begun the next year, but suspended in 1794 due to financial difficulties. Frequent attempts to revive the project were unsuccessful until the Union Canal Company was created by another act of the state assembly in 1811.

Goes from Gebel el Qatani and ends at Qasr El - Sagha, Eygpt
Built sometime between 26th and 22nd Centuries B.C.
The Lake Moeris Quarry Road, in the Faiyum District of Eygpt, is the oldest road in the world of which a considerable part of its original pavement is still preserved. This road was used to help transport the heavy blocks of basalt from the quarry 43 miles southwest of Cairo to the royal sarcophagi and pavements for the mortuary temples at Giza just outside Cairo. The road covered the 7.5 miles from the quarry to Lake Moeris which, at that time, was 66 ft above sea level. When the Nile flooded and its waters reached a gap in the hills separating the Lake from the Nile, the Egyptians were able to float the blocks down to Cairo.
The road averaged a width of six and a half feet and was created with slabs of sandstone and limestone. The builders even included some logs of petrified wood. Since the pavement stones bore no deep grooves or other marks, geologists have speculated that logs were laid over the stones as a sled was drawn toward the lake. The stones prevented the sled from sinking into the desert sand.

Salt Lake City, Utah
Completed 1867
Just 20 years after settling the uninhabited Salt Lake valley, Brigham Young and his Mormon followers completed one of the nation's most impressive public structures. The 9,000-seat Mormon Tabernacle boasts a clear span roof measuring 150 feet by 250 feet, its timber trusses joined with wooden pegs and lashed with green rawhide, which shrank and tightened as it dried.
The building has remained structurally sound for more than 125 years and has seen few changes to its original design. It receives up to 3 million visitors a year and is home to the world famous Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
Facts
- Prominent railroad bridge engineer Henry Grow designed the roof using a system of lattice arches in place of internal supports.
- Stone and lumber were available in the surrounding mountains, but metal building components could not be shipped from the east until the transcontinental railroad reached Salt Lake City in 1869, two years after completion.
- The Mormon Tabernacle was the first building in the U.S. to be designated as a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the ASCE.
