Structural design

Reusable temporary bridges

A page for the design reasoning, code references, constraints, and sketches behind reusable temporary bridge crossings.

What this was

Add the problem statement here: the crossing conditions, why the bridge needed to be temporary, and what reuse changed about the design.

Design notes

This is a good place to discuss CSA S6, Alberta watercourse crossing practice, assumptions, loads, member choices, and the tradeoffs you had to make.

What I learned

Capture the engineering judgment: what looked simple at first, what became complicated, and what you would improve next time.
