Tavion began what would become the eventual and permanent design of our bridge.
Ryan and Teymour began modeling the bridge that Tavion had sketched to make it fully formed.
Ziya created the bridge on Bridge Designer and was able to test and alter the bridge through trial and error to meet the requirements while still keeping the budget as low as possible.
The sketch that Tavion created allowed us to visualize the dimensions that would be used to construct the bridge. It also gave a detailed depiction of the specifications that would be used.
Using Tinkercad as an online resource, Tavion and Teymour were able to create a model of a bridge that would be 3D printed later on. The 3D print allowed them to base it off of to make the actual design successful.
After numerous attempts, Ziya was able to create a bridge that could withstand the forces of gravity as well as anything that traveled across it.
Using Model 3d, we created a bridge that was a replica of our final product. Some parts proved difficult as the supports caused the analysis to be invalid.
We were able to meet all of the criteria. The compression and tension of the joints and the members was under the threshold of the requirement. 15% of the bridge were hollow tubes, and it had the lowest possible cost which was 312,000$.
