Comp1-Duane

When I designed this bridge, I started off by thinking about bridges that already exist.  An arch-shaped truss bridge stood out in my mind as a commonly used designed.  There are a total of 43 members in the bridge.  Carbon steel was the type of material used in the bridge.  The total cost of the bridge is $343,065.96.  The maximum compression force / strength is 0.96.  The maximum tension force / strength is 0.51.
