OUR PROGRESS
Take a look at the work that we are completing and follow along as we progress on our steel bridge!
The team prepared the project Gantt Chart, Fabrication Schedule, and Engineering Services Cost in order to evaluate team progress as well as estimate the engineering cost for the project for the fall, winter, and spring semesters. Additionally, the team finalized the analysis for the stringer connections and started the calculations and analysis of the connections of the overhead truss. Lastly, the CAD Lead developed the 3-D bridge model along with preliminary connection designs in AutoCAD.

The team is preparing for fabrication by becoming more familiar with the Machine Shop equipment. The team attended Joe Zanetti’s (TCNJ’s Professional Service Specialist) Welding Clinic in the Machine Shop to gain a better understanding of effective and safe welding practices. The team got to practice welding lines as well as tacking. Additionally, the team has been making progress on connections by starting hand calculations as well as finalizing the 3-D bridge design in Visual Analysis. |
