Truss Bridge Design and Finite Element Analysis
To come up with a design which includes truss supports for a a bridge that is 200ft long, which will be subjected to a load of four trucks that each carry a payload in a trailer that weights 8,000lbs and 64,000 lbs respectively, and supports a total distributed load of the road of 1,500 lbs/ft.• The main objective is to ensure that there is not any significant deflections as well as ensuring stress levels are within the specifications of the material.• The primary concerns are due to the maximum deflection of the beam that supports the total weight as well as the maximum stress levels that such experiences.
