Bolsa Wood Bridge Project?

BD asked:


I have to build a Bolsa Wood Bridge in my engineering class. It must hold as much as possible. (Hopefully it would hold around 60 pounds) Does anyone know how to build a very strong bridge or any good websites that builds strong bridges?
Sorry but I forgot to say that you cannot laminate anything at all. Also, no excessive amounts of glue

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.

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?

What type of bridge should i make? (Spaghetti and glue)?

PYRO214 asked:


Our team of 4 won an engineering competition at our university. We now have to compete at the Western championship but they wont tell us what the objective is until we get there. Last year the challenge was to build a bridge.

What type of bridge would be most efficient given the following

Criteria:
-materials include raw spaghetti and glue
-has to span a distance of 1 meter

Consider the two scenarios:
-using the least amount of material, to carry the largest amount of weight.
-using a set amount of material, to carry the largest amount of weight.

Thanks for any suggestions and ideas =)

What shall I name my bridge?

white*elephant*AfTeRmAtH asked:


I made a bridge in engineering class (it’s an arch bridge made of toothpicks), and I want a cool name for it.
I think in real life, a bridge like mine would look nice over a river, but I can’t think of a pretty name that would sound like the name of a real bridge.

It’s really pretty…. :-)
