When a tree seed germinates, the first(primary) root grows down in the soil in response to gravity. Secondary roots then branch off horizontally, with subsequent branching into tertiary roots, etc. Absorption of water and mineral nutrients is the function of the very fine, non-woody roots(the feeder roots). With continued growth, each root will lose its ability for absorption. These larger woody roots then function as the transport system for water and nutrients from the new feeder roots to the stem. They are also the tree's system of anchorage and a food starage area. The resulting system thus consists of several main transport roots that extend radically and horizontally from the tree base and divide into ever smaller roots, each ending in a dense mass of fine feeder roots.  2, record 1, English, - feeder%20roots

The anchorages of a cantilever bridge present the designer with little difficulty.... There are two basic ways of providing such anchorages.... Where the bedrock is firm and sufficiently near the surface the supporting cradle for the cables can be anchored by means of a concrete plug let into a shaft cut in the rock. Where the rock is too weak or too deep the alternative is a gravity anchorage-a solid block of concrete that resists the tension in the cables by its immense weight alone.  2, record 2, English, - gravity%20anchorage

Suspension Bridges.... There are two variations of this type of bridge.... The second variation is to be found in San Francisco's... Bay bridge, which includes two 700-m. suspension spans end to end. Here the two pairs of stays on the adjoining ends of the suspension spans are fixed to a common anchorage. The horizontal components of the tensions in these cables are equal and opposite so far as the dead weight is concerned and so cancel each other out. The common pier is therefore primarily a gravity anchorage holding the combined vertical pull from the two pairs of stays.  1, record 3, English, - common%20anchorage
