The three questions I have prepared for our research librarian, Mr. Jay Bhatt, are as follows. Roughly how many bridges in the United States are currently considered to be structurally deficient? How much money will It cost the U.S. to repair or replace these structurally deficient bridges? What is the length of the largest pier to pier bridge span ever built in the world?
Last week in class we learned about truss bridge design and how it relates to the bridges we are designing. As a group we were given some time to work on possible designs by using West Point Bridge Design. This week we will learn about researching bridges, a lecture that will be lead by Mr. Bhatt, our research librarian. After learning about research tactics, we plan to meet as a group and further our bridge design, and work on making it cost as little as possible.
