Span- 60 centimeters
Road Width- 11 centimeters
6 kilogram
Calculating all the Forces
Example Calculation: Point G
Work Schedule
We first chose the double intersection (warren) but this was not the best design due to cost efficiency and the heavy weight of the members.
1 kg. placed on points E, D, C
We decided to choose the Howe Bridge because it is very cost effective compared to the double intersection due to the fact that there are less members.
Rg: 1.5 kg.
Ra: 1.5 kg
To design a scale model bridge for the Town of Hauptville, in place of the Grant Road Bridge that was damaged after an accident in which a vehicle collided with one of the end posts on the west end of the bridge
The scale model bridge will be designed as a deck truss bridge using manila envelopes.
