Engineers: Best Bridge Structural Efficiency?
Joshy asked:
Hey guys,
I am creating a bridge out of 3/32″ Balsa Wood, and need to give it the best structural efficiency.
I have asked this question before, but got minimal replies.
Which type of bridge has more potential for great Structural Efficiency, meaning, what design can I use that will be very light, and carry the biggest [...]
Question to engineers about that bridge collapse?
vcxzzxcvvcxzzxcv asked: Am I the only person that finds it odd that someone would make an ARCH bridge where the arch is made out of steel?
The arch in an arch bridge is always under compression, and steel is not that great under compression. I think a small layer of steel reinforced concrete under the steel [...]

Bridge circuits in RTDs - why are they there? how do they work?
annelisakova asked: Why would it have to have 4 sides to the circuit? Are they comparing resistance in one arm to that in another? If the two arms don’t have the same resistance, what happens? Why do they have one variable resistor and one resistor with an undefined value? I know that heat varies resistances [...]
Question about Bridge Estimation project? Thanks?
hawk31 asked: We got this project in class, and he never said anything besides to put the final estimation in lbs and tons. Other than that I don’t have any ideas of how to do this. I was wondering if someone could give me some tips or ideas about how to do this or any [...]
where can i find equations for Pigeaud’s curves used in bridge deck slab analysis?
Saroj B asked: Long ago M. Pigeaud developed these curves which help to analysis and design RCC bridge deck. But these curves are cumbersome to use since they involve lot of minute graphical works and interpolations. To use these curves in computer we need the equations, which could make the engineer’s life a lot easier.
who is to blame for the I-35 bridge collapse?
pretzelman5000 asked: the engineer report said it needed major work, so why did the politicians not put the money out to fix it?

Bridge deterioration & ways to combat it?
bloody_darkangelgirl asked: I was wondering about what happens when bridges deteriorate. For example, a bridge will probably wear down in time due to weather and the constant stress of cars/trains driving over them. What do engineers do to combat these two factors & prolong the longevity of the bridge?
