Teaches students basic engineering concepts associated with bridge structures. Students solve a true-life engineering problem, simulating a real bridge design, test that design with a modern structural analysis package, including a collapse simulation if the bridge is underdesigned.Includes a CAD program with editing features, such as joint shifts and deletes, member deletes, size changes and strength inquiries. A transparent structural analysis package simulates an 80,000 pound truck load, determines forces in bridge truss members and automatically checks for overload stresses in the members.
