One of the most famous monuments in the United States is, without a doubt, the Golden Gate Bridge, but do you know everything behind such a distinguished bridge? <\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

This great bridge joins through its 1970 meters of hanging structure (2737 total) and 227 high, the counties of San Francisco and Mar\u00edn, crossing the exact point where the San Francisco Bay opens towards the Pacific Ocean.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

In today’s post, we will tell you who participated in the construction of the Golden Gate, the details of its design and construction and many other details and curiosities about one of the most important and recognized suspension bridges in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who designed and built the Golden Gate Bridge?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The design and construction of the bridge required a large team of structural and traffic engineers, geologists, architects, construction managers among other construction, construction and building professionals.<\/span><\/p>\n

The chief engineer and architect was Joseph B. Strauss<\/b>, to whom we attribute the conception, design, and construction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Charles A. Ellis<\/b>, an engineering professor at the University of Illinois, participated in the construction due to his technical expertise in the analysis and formulation of solutions in the complex details of a long-range suspension bridge such as the Golden Gate. Despite this, due to disagreements with chief engineer Joseph B. Strauss he was fired.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leon Moisseiff<\/b>, a renowned bridge designer who acted as a consulting engineer for the project and, together with Charles A. Ellis, worked on wind analysis and bridge deviation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Irving Morrov<\/b> was the architect responsible for designing the streetlamps, bars and vertical striations of the towers and pillars of the bridge. He was also responsible for giving it the orange color that makes the Golden Gate Bridge a recognizable landmark for all the people in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

How was the construction process of the bridge?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In November 1930, despite the continuing difficulties lurking the Great Depression, the issuance of $35 million bonds was approved to build the Golden Gate Bridge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even so, the construction of the bridge did not begin until 1933 (January 5) and would end in 1937 (April 19), with an expenditure 1.3 million below the initial budget of $35 million.<\/span><\/p>\n
