Find the seven steps involved in the design of bridge to cross a major river, in accordance with the steps shown in Figure 5.1.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
List the steps involved in the design of bridge to cross a major river, in accordance with the steps shown in Figure 5.1 as follows:
- 1. Needs Assessment: All the information related to the construction site such as location of site, cost estimation of bridge, construction material required etc.., is collected.
- 2. Establishment of Design Goals: The design goals are established before the execution of work. The design goals decide the cost and time duration of the bridge construction, it also decides the quality standards and quantity of each and every construction material used in the bridge construction.
- 3. Generation of Prototypes: Before the construction of the actual bridge, different prototypes (small replica) of the bridge are made, considering the site condition and other dynamic parameters. Each prototype is having a unique in terms of design, cost and performance.
- 4. Evaluation of alternative solutions: These prototypes of the bridge are analysed for the structural stability and loading conditions and also under different climatic conditions.
- 5. Select a Solution, Make Recommendations: Based on the analysis of the prototypes, the best design which is most suitable in terms of performance, cost and project duration is selected.
- 6. Communicate the Solution: The designer discuss with the client about the selected design and gets the approval from the client for the execution of work. The designer communicates the approved design in the form of construction drawings to the site execution team.
- 7. Implement the Solution: The site execution team consisting of engineers and workers, who executes the construction of bridge as per the construction drawings.
After the completion of Step 7, the entire cycle is repeated starting from Step 1.

2. Find the equivalent concentrated load(s) for the bags of cement stacked on the
dock as shown here. Each bag weighs 100 lbs and is 12 inches long. Draw the loading
conditions for each showing the equivalent concentrated load(s).
1 bag = 100lbs
L= 12 ft
L= 6 ft
L= 8ft
I have a question for this problem in the first one wouldn't it be finding the total weight of the bags which =4800lbs and the multiply that by 12ft to find the concentrated load?? but if this is the case the load would end up as lbs/ft so I'm not too sure that is right.
There are 2 parts
A) L=12ft
B) L1= 6ft, L2= 8ft
