Document Summary
Our bridge design is a deck pratt truss whose width is 5 meters and height of 3 meters to cover 100 meter span, we use two identical pratt truss of 50 meter each symmetrical at 50 meter point. At this point we choose to add an intermediate vertical tower support to distribute load. This support has height of 40 meters and a shape of rectangle with a triangle on top. At this point we choose to add a vertical tower support to distribute load. The tower support has a height of 40 meters. It is composed of 9 squares of 4 meter width and height stacking on each other and an isosceles triangle on top with 4 meter base width and 4 meter height if viewed from the front. The top end of the triangle is where the support connects to the truss. The key design decisions of our team were made with reference to our design philosophy.
