📼Video Summary:
The Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri is right along the Mississippi River. It was designed by Finnish-American Eero Saarinen and built in the 1960s. It's called an Orthotropic Design because the structure on the outside supports all the weight. The shape of the Arch is an Inverted Catenary Curve. Creeper Derricks were used to build the arch - slowly going up the sides as it increased in height. Then the Stabilizing Truss was installed to brace the sides of the arch. The last piece is the Keystone - to get it to fit they sprayed water over the south leg and installed Hydraulic Jacks to widen the gap.
The Tram system was designed by Dick Bowser. There are eight cars on each side - each tram car can fit 5 people. You enter the museum by going underground. There's a museum inside with six separate areas to learn more about the arch. You can also visit the Tucker Theater, Arch Store, or Arch Cafe. The tram ride will take about 3 or 4 minutes to reach the top. The Oberservation Deck can fit about 100 people and there are 16 windows on each side.
