Comp1: Ngov


 
Ngov, Amanda: Section 35

The concept behind the design of the bridge was to maximize the amount of load being displaced on the bridge. In addition, the high arch appeared to be more efficient than a box shaped bridge because of the reinforced strength of the height and pull of the reaction end points.

Carbon Steel was used as opposed to the other materials because it was the most cost effective and had enough strength for the intended goal. In forty-three members were used and the number of cross section was forty-three. The total cost of the entire bridge project totaled to $353962.48. The maximum amount of compression force was at 0.93 while the maximum tension force was at 0.51.
