Project Overview
The goal of this project is to construct a bridge model given certain parameters, analyze our design using Sketch Up and Visual Analysis, test our model using the PASCO Load Cell, and compare our results. Our group has chosen to pursue the construction of a beam and deck bridge. We will be modeling the South Street Bridge. Through the extent of this project our group will develop understanding of the materials used, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of a beam and deck bridge and how stress is applied to a bridge.
