SHEAR STRESS IN BEAMS - ELECTRIC METAL SHEAR - THE SCISSOR SISTERS. Shear Stress In Beams
HDR Broken Bridge This is a battered remnant of the bridge on Iceland's Ring Road that, until 1996, spanned a nearby river. That year, volcanic activity under the Vatnajokull icecap melted enough of the icecap's underbelly that it overcame the ice's ability to hold it back. The glacier broke open and released 50,000 cubic meters of water per second, bringing along with it boulders and icebergs which impacted the bridge and destroyed it. Even with the picnic table to aid in scale comparison, I was unprepared for the sight in real life. I recognized the site perhaps a mile away, and my reaction upon pulling into the parking lot was something along the lines of "holy crap, it's #@&*ing HUGE!" Were it not for the small rock barrier underneath it, I could have easily driven my car under the beams. This is an HDR composite of two images, combined in Adobe Photoshop CS3. Nature won
