Truck in the Middle of the Bridge
Load Test Results
As
seen in the Drawing Board View, my design has a rectangular outline.
First, I started out with a Through truss - Pratt template as a base. I
figured that a rectangle would be the perfect balance in preventing the
bridge from collapsing so I expanded the template. The final bridge cost
came out to be approximately $448,370. Once I become more acquainted
with the bridge design program and experiment different types of steel
and different angles for a better design I expect the cost to decrease
by about $100,000. An effective technique I learned was to keep the
outer and inner edge of the design to oppose each other, which will
cause the bridge to counterbalance.
