jerome Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 Hello I go by Jerry. I came across this forum when I was looking for bridge forums. I am hoping to build a bridge and figured I might get some expert help here. Or some leads as where to go for help. I am not real sharp in science myself but maybe I will learn something here. Quote
Turtle Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 Hi Jerry. Welcome to Hypography. Bridging is a wide topic with many different connotations; just whatcha got in mind? Quote
jerome Posted October 14, 2006 Author Report Posted October 14, 2006 I have a piece of property that has a creek running through it and I would like to build a bridge to cross it. The creek is ten feet wide, I know I could just pour some concrete on the sides of the creek and lay some steel beams across the creek. Pour some concrete on top of that and I would have a bridge. I would like to build an arch bridge similar to the one on the West Virginia quarter only not as big. This bridge would need to support truck traffic. I have a design all drawn out but I don't know if it is under designed or over designed. So that is what I kind of had in mind. Quote
