8、s;their heights vary from 18m(59ft)at the centre of the arch to 57m(187ft)at the ends next to the pylons.The arch has a span of 504m(1,654ft)and its summit is 134m(440ft)above mean sea level;however,expansion of the steel structure on hot days can increase the height of the arch by as much as 18cm(7

9、.1in).Large steel pins(or bearings)support each end of the arch,allowing it to rotate to accommodate expansion and contraction caused by changes of temperature,and avoiding stresses that would otherwise cause damage.The total weight of the steelwork of the bridge,including the arch and approach span

10、s,is 52,800 tonnes(52,000 long tons;58,200 short tons),with the arch itself weighing 39,000 tonnes(38,000 long tons;43,000 short tons).About 79%of the steel was imported from England,with the rest being sourced fromNewcastle.On site,the contractors(Dorman Long and Co.)set up two workshops at Milsons

11、 Point,at the site of the present dayLuna Park,and fabricated the steel into the girdersand other required parts.Pylons At each end of the arch stands a pair of 89m(292ft)high concrete pylons,faced withgranite.The pylons were designed by the Scottish architectThomas S.Tait,a partner in the architect

14、made.Abutmentsat the base of the pylons are essential to support the loads from the arch and hold its span firmly in place,but the pylons themselves have no structural purpose.They were included to provide a frame for the arch panels and to give better visual balance to the bridge.The pylons were not part of the original design,and were only added to allay public concern about the structural integrity of the bridge.
