  2. Kaplan turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaplan_turbine

    Bulb or tubular turbines are designed into the water delivery tube. A large bulb is centered in the water pipe which holds the generator, wicket gate and runner. Tubular turbines are a fully axial design, whereas Kaplan turbines have a radial wicket gate. Pit turbines are bulb turbines with a gear box. This allows for a smaller generator and bulb.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_girder_bridge

    A scaled down version of this design, the Small Box Girder Bridge, was also formally adopted by the Army in 1932. This latter design was copied by many countries, including Germany, who called their version the Kastenträger-Gerät (K-Gerät for short). [2] The United States was another country whose army created their own copy, designating it ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubular_bridge

    A tubular bridge is a bridge built as a rigid box girder section within which the traffic is carried. [1] Famous examples include the original Britannia Bridge over the Menai Strait, the Conwy railway bridge over the River Conwy, designed and tested by William Fairbairn and built by Robert Stephenson between 1846 and 1850, and the original Victoria Bridge in Montreal.

    By 1963, a new structural system of framed tubes had appeared in skyscraper design and construction. Fazlur Rahman Khan, a structural engineer from Bangladesh (then called East Pakistan) who worked at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, defined the framed tube structure as "a three dimensional space structure composed of three, four, or possibly more frames, braced frames, or shear walls, joined at or ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapidan_Dam

    The new gate design was stronger than the original to prevent it from failing due to pressure from water and ice again. In July 1982 a specification was issued for pumping equipment and bids were received in October of that year. Allis-Chalmers gated tubular turbines were chosen. These were rated for a generator output of 2.5 megawatts of power ...

  7. Tainter gate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tainter_gate

    Tainter gates are usually controlled from above with a chain/gearbox/electric motor assembly. A critical factor in Tainter gate design is the amount of stress transferred from the skinplate through the radial arms and to the trunnion, with calculations pertaining to the resulting friction encountered when raising or lowering the gate. Some ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conwy_Railway_Bridge

    The wrought iron tubular bridge, which is now Grade I listed, was built in the 19th century. It is the last surviving example of this type of design by Stephenson after the original Britannia Bridge across the Menai Strait was partially destroyed in a fire in 1970 and rebuilt as a two-tier truss arch bridge design.
