Eager to be a Civil Engineer??...
Let’s design a bridge….
Howe Truss
Pratt Truss
Warren Truss
West Point Designer Software allows you to design a truss bridge.
You can design your bridge selecting a joint/member combination.
The GOAL???Structurally adequate….
and…economical.
$$$$
Cost components
Bridge approach and abutments Structural elements
Material shape - flat iron or tubes
Material type - carbon steel or high strength
Material size - length and “width”
Connections
COLOR SCHEME
TENSION members turn BLUE
COMPRESSION MEMBERS turn RED The intensity of the color is directly
proportional to the intensity of the loading
