Alternative Truss Designs9/29/2021 The Team met and discussed ideas for a design for the truss of the bridge. Each member created a rough sketch of a truss which are shown below. The Team will meet with their advisors to discuss the ideas. Using the envelope given by the Steel Bridge Competition Rules, designs were created based on the dimensions provided. These designs will later be modeled in Visual Analysis.

Rules and Research9/9/2021 Our team has just received the rules for the 2022 ASCE/AISC Steel Bridge Competition and has begun our research into a viable design for our bridge. We began by reviewing old competitions and finding pros and cons for each design to determine how to start on our own personal designs. In the Rules, the Site Plan was laid out with dimensions required for the competition. This will determine a few of the restrictions we will have when designing our bridge. This includes skewed footings, a cantilever end, and areas where construction is restricted.
