In week 2 the group discussed some ideas for bridge designs and that each member would design a bridge in WPBD. Hopefully using this program will give each member a better understanding of how truss systems work, and it should help to analyze how cost can be decreased for a bridge project. After completing these designs the group will look over each one and try to make a bridge that is better then all 3 of them using the information and ideas of the designs each member has created. The group will also be using any information they can find about bridge construction and materials to help decrease the cost of the bridge.
Mr. Jay Bhatt
1) Where can I find what kind of materials are strongest and the cheapest to use in the construction of a bridge? How bout what material is strongest against compression forces? Tension forces?
2) Where can I find out about arced truss systems and straight truss systems?
3) Where can I find what size pieces of a material are considered a common size?
