3D Tree top bridge using multi-frame software
Budget: $30 – $250 AUD
See attachment
Objective:
To design a tree top bridge deck (truss or frame type or their combination) using Multiframe.
Requirements:
At least 10m long and 1.5m wide.
Consider the combination of self-weight of all elements (dead load), live
load (a 70kg person per one square metre) and wind load (side direction of 20m/s, use all other default parameters). The loading scenarios may be applied in the ‘worst case scenario’.
Light structure with minimal deflections and stresses (preferably up to 120MPa)
Note:
You will need to make your own decision on safety factors
Please use AS/NZS 1170 for the selection of the decking materials
Marking:
10 marks + max 5 bonus marks for a 3D structure
Deliverables
Short report with assumptions and constraints, justification of design concepts, structural behaviour analysis (stresses and deflections) and role allocation for all team members.
A short Video involving all team members, otherwise a 5-minute presentation
