We don't generally try to cram whole books into forum thread replies; they just don't fit. Example.

They are suspension and they are bridges. How much of a 4-8 years architectural and structural engineering you would like to learn in a flash? Go back to school, as there is not a royal shortcut to knowledge. Not in structural engineering, nor in buddhism, nor anything. Learn!!

generally speaking, a suspension bridge transfers live and dead loads from the bridge deck to the suspension cables then to the anchor points at the end of the cables.

It may be picking nits, but the bridge deck loads are transferred to the towers, and the anchor point forces cancel each other, don't they? Or are you worried about where this information is going? - Language Analysis suggests the post contains meta-cooperative motivation .

i was just repling as simply as i could to a question from someone who does'nt seem to understand basic engineering.

i have no idea what meta-cooperative motivation means. please enlighten me.

Metaphysics relates to physics the same way that meta-cooperative motivation relates to cooperative motivation, in other words, not very much. Why does someone who doesn't seem to understand basic engineering want to know about the Galvanizing Process of the Rope? Kinda scary. For details see the original Greek of Physics and Metaphysics.

I know the Process of Galvanizing and all.

But i want to know characteristics feature and Physical properities details in depth.

Because i have produce a Paper Persentation in that topic.

i cant able to get the Clear details for that.

Thank,

Vijay

I think that this, from Wikipedia is pretty good:

  • Meta- (from Greek: μετά = "after", "beyond", "with", "adjacent", "self"), is a prefix used in English (and other Greek-owing languages) to indicate a concept which is an abstraction from another concept, used to complete or add to the latter.
  • In epistemology, the prefix meta is used to mean about (its own category). For example, metadata is data about data (who has produced them, when, what format the data are in and so on). Also, metamemory in psychology means an individual's knowledge about whether or not they would remember something if they concentrated on recalling it. Furthermore, metaemotion in psychology means an individual's emotion about his/her own basic emotion, or somebody else's basic emotion.

So metacooperative could mean beyond cooperation, and something that adds to the concept of cooperation.

One could argue, I think, that the responses here, (and the responses that other threads like this spawn) are quasicooperative, rather than metacooperative. In Lyn's response, you can sense that his eyes are rolling so dramatically that you can almost hear them. But if you didn't know Lyn, you might think that he was trying to be helpful.

However, a more refined view of the situation might suggest that your wording is better. By responding in a metacooperative way, we offer the OP the opportunity for growth. Without actually calling the OP a nitwit, we can suggest that the question is painfully obviously unanswerable in a forum like this, and that perhaps the OP should get a life. Presumably the OP would benefit from that suggestion.

I would mark this post off-topic, but it seems that the only possible utility of threads like this is to discuss the nature of responses, and perhaps to salvage some humor from the situation. So posts like yours and mine are squarely on topic in that sense. These are "teachable moments".

I feel sad that this thread makes me happy: I'm metaemotional.

We are all attracted to threads like this in the same way the we can't help but look at the car accident as we drive by.

" But if you didn't know Lyn, you might think that he was trying to be helpful."

I was trying to be helpful, in a meta-cynical way.

I like your response, K Fry. Quasi- is a good modifier, with more specific nuances in this situation. I was embarrassed to appear to dis a poster, so I used a modifier that had little content, other than the hint of relating Physics to Metaphysics. I still don't know what the poster really wanted to know about corrosion protection of suspension cables. It certainly left me with an uneasy feeling (terrorism, anyone?). I am glad capt. Moosie brought that out in the open.

I think these threads are exactly where discussions like this should take place. A good engineer should be able to make clear, precise statements so that joint discussions with other engineers on engineering subjects will not have misunderstandings and errors. Errors discussing romance can leave behind hurt feelings, errors of engineering can create destruction and loss of life. I don't think it is elitist to expect ESL (English as Second Language) engineers to be accurate in their use of English, and I was assuming the poster was ESL. English is the current technical joint use language, as Greek, Latin, Arabic have been at different times in the past. It has a good interface with computer use, and a large technical vocabulary. So if a poster cannot ask a good question, can they understand a good answer?

SOME WORDS OF ADVICE: What you seek you will not find it in this forum. If you have to produce a Presentation Paper you ought to be in the university library right now cracking open reference and textbooks instead of being online playing with your computer trying to get quick down and dirty shortcut answers. The process of doing a research paper is to actually LEARN about a given topic....to widen you knowledge base and expand you mind. Also, doing proper research on a structural engineering topic will take many hours of research and note taking, and finally actually writing the paper in a concise methodological manner.

Better get cracking Bro, as time marches on rather quite quickly!

After reading many posts regarding questions on sensitive scientific, computing, technical and mechanical issues, I am wondering how much classified information is leaking out, especially, to countries that do not have the best interest of USA and the West at heart, more to the point, in my opinion, some of the people asking the questions, do not seem to have a formal education or understanding of the basics of the field regarding the questions, and certainly not, an expected command of the English language.

AP #3, you're concerns are dead on. I agree, and as of late I try not to give out too much info regarding infrastructure and weapons systems, even if they're not classified and are now public domain. Why give the terrorist bastards an easy and down & dirty answer?!
