UW Steel Bridge Team

UW Steel Bridge Team: The Steel Bridge Competition is an annual event that challenges engineering students to design and fabricate the most structurally and functionally efficient bridge. Each year the rules are modified to keep the competition fresh and competitive. In 2005, a bridge member must fit in a box measuring 42"x6"x6". The overall length of their bridge must be able to span a 21'-0" protected wetland while being skewed 2'-6". During the competition, a construction team will be timed to assemble their bridge over the wet land. After the bridge is built, it will be weighed and load-tested with 2500 lbs. Deflections and the depth of the bridge section are measured. All these numbers will be entered into formulas to determine the overall winner.
