Bridge Design using simplified equations
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
Selection of optimal structural system for cable-supported bridges to minimise cost and environmental impact.
It is like a design project but no software is needed, we have to consider 3 spans (300m, 600m and 900m). Then we have to consider the suspension system, fan system, semi fan system and harp system. Then we have determine the member size using SIMPLIFIED EQUATIONS which is given in the design manual (I will share), then we have to calculate the cost of the bridges and embodied carbon and energy of the bridges.
You have to consider suspension system and 3 type of cable-stayed bridges (Fan System, Semi - Fan System and Harp System) for each Span 300 m, Span 600 m and Span 900 m. So total 12 bridges.
1. Have to do calculations and preliminary design the member profiles not actual design. You will use simplified equations. I repeat no software is needed.
2. Cost of construction of each bridge (rough estimation)
3. embodied carbon and energy (carbon footprint)
of these types of bridges.
And assessment on the effect of guidelines in for optimal seismic design.
