Ne znam da li postoji tema na Forumu,ako je tako prebacite dragi urednici.Svejedno i ova tema bi trebalo da ide u arhitekturu.

Mostovi su fascinantne građevine zato što spajaju ljude,vekove,civilizacije.Za čovečanstvo važniji od bilo koje druge konstrukcije.
Ovde bih predložila da postujemo ne samo najveće nego i najlepše mostove.

Pearl Bridge - Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in Japan

On April 5, 1998, 10 years after construction began, the ribbon was cut to open the world's longest suspension bridge, the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in Japan. Following a parade of the 1,500 invited guests (including this author) across the bridge, the Crown Prince and Princess of Japan officiated the formal ceremony.

Map showing the three bridges connecting Honshu and Shikoku islands. The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, also known in Japan as the Pearl Bridge, has a record main span of 1,991 meters. By comparison, the bridge is 366 meters (almost ¼ mile) longer than the previous record holder, the StoreBaelt (East Bridge) in Denmark, which was also opened in 1998. The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge is also 580 meters longer than the Humber Bridge in England, constructed in 1981; 692 meters longer than the longest suspension bridge in the United States, the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in New York, built in 1964; and 710 meters longer than the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, constructed in 1937.

It cost an estimated 500 billion Japanese yen (U.S. $3.6 billion) to build the bridge. Construction began in 1988 and involved more than 100 contractors.

Tower Bridge



 

Tower Bridge is a bascule bridge in London, England over the River Thames. It is close to the Tower of London, which gives it its name. It has become an iconic symbol of London and is sometimes mistakenly called London Bridge, which is actually the next bridge upstream. The bridge is owned and maintained by Bridge House Estates, a charitable trust overseen by the Corporation of London.
Jones' design was for a bascule bridge 800 feet (244 m) in length with two towers each 213 feet (65 m) high, built on piers. The central span of 200 feet (61 m) between the towers is split into two equal bascules or leaves, which can be raised to an angle of 83 degrees to allow river traffic to pass. Although each bascule weighs over 1,000 tons, they are counterbalanced to minimise the force required and allow raising in one minute. The original hydraulic raising mechanism was powered by pressurised water stored in six accumulators. Water was pumped into the accumulators by steam engines. Today the original hydraulic machinery still opens the bridge, however it has been converted to use oil instead of water and electric motors have taken the place of the steam engines and accumulators. The old mechanism is open to the public.

Karlov Most - Prag

Karlov Most je jedna od najposecenijih znamenitosti Praga.
Stari Kameni most na Vltavi ima izuzetno zanimljivu istoriju. Kamen temeljac je postavio Karlo IV, 9. jula 1357. u 5:31. Ovo vreme su izabrali dvorski numerolozi, redjanjem brojeva dobija se simetrican broj 135797531! U pocetku se prosto zvao Kameni Most, tek nekoliko vekova kasnije dobija ime po svom graditelju.
U toku gradnje u malter su dodavana zumanca kako bi konstrukcija bila postojanija. Karlov most uspesno odoleva poplavama vec vise od 600 godina tako da mozda ipak ima nesto u tim zumancima .
Krajem 17. i pocetkom 18. veka most je ukrasen sa 30 statua. Pocetkom 1965 statue su zamenjene kopijama, a originali se sada mogu videti u Nacionalnom Muzeju u Pragu.

Jedna od najcuvenijih je svakako statua Sv. Jan Nepomucký, dvorskog svestenika koji je bacen sa mosta 1383. Po legendi tadasnji kralj ga je ubio zato sto je svestenik odbio da oda kraljicinu ispovest. Dodirivanje postolja ove statue je postao ritual, ako to uradite pratice vas sreca i sigurno cete se opet vratiti u Prag
