This week we used the West Point Bridge Designer software to make a
simple design of a bridge. Using the software was really easy and we
were able to try may different things in a short time. We tried a lot of
shapes but we realized that triangles are the best shape to work with
because they are really stable We also started to design our own
bridge and looked for which design seemed the best. Even that we worked
with the software, trying to design a bridge which would be stable so
the truck could pass we were not able to design a bridge during the lab.
I think that we should work more with West Point Bridge Designer
software so we can build a bridge with the best performance which means
that can be stable and doesn't cost too much.
Here are some questions that I want to ask Mr. Bhatt:
1.)
What would be a price in the market for a two lanes bridge 44m long
that has no pier or cable anchorages made from medium-strength
concrete?
2.) Which type of triangle is the most stable one?
