In 1904, the Wabash Bridge opened to carry the Wabash-Pittsburg Terminal Railroad over the Monongahela River. In
1948, the bridge was removed. The piers still remain.

Now it is up to you to design a pedestrian bridge or structure to bring new life to the old abandoned bridge piers.

Overview
• Definitions• Engineering
– Forces– Type– Configuration– Form
• Classification Challenge• Other Design Considerations

Definitions
• Abutment - support at beginning or end ofbridge integrated with the ground
• Pier - intermediate support• Span - the bridge between two supports• Girder - a tall, narrow beam• Support Structure - the part of the bridge
that carries the load

Engineering - Classification of Forces
• Function of bridge: to carry a load across adistance
• Due to gravity, all loads have a downwardforce (weight)
• All bridges can be classified into thefollowing basic types based on how theycarry the weight:– Compression– Tension– Tension/Compression (Both)
![Page 7: Wabash Bridge Competition Bridge Engineeringphlf.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/Edu_WabashBridgeDesign.pdf · Wabash Bridge Competition Bridge Engineering Todd Wilson, B.S., E.I.T.](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021511/5ad9b5687f8b9ae1768c3320/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Compression Bridges
• Compression is the “push” force• Compression causes an object to get shorter• Stone and concrete are strong in
compression
![Page 8: Wabash Bridge Competition Bridge Engineeringphlf.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/Edu_WabashBridgeDesign.pdf · Wabash Bridge Competition Bridge Engineering Todd Wilson, B.S., E.I.T.](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021511/5ad9b5687f8b9ae1768c3320/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Compression Bridges - Arch• A bridge that supports a weight in compression is
an arch bridge• The circular arc in compression supports the road• The arch can be below the road or above the road

Tension Bridges
• Tension is a “pull” force• Tension causes an object to get longer• Wire rope and chains are strong in tension
![Page 11: Wabash Bridge Competition Bridge Engineeringphlf.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/Edu_WabashBridgeDesign.pdf · Wabash Bridge Competition Bridge Engineering Todd Wilson, B.S., E.I.T.](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021511/5ad9b5687f8b9ae1768c3320/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Tension Bridge - Suspension• A suspension bridge features a long cable strung
over towers and anchored on both sides• Smaller cables are hung from the main cables and
connect to the road deck• The cables in tension support the road

Tension Bridge - Cable Stayed• A cable stayed bridge features cables that connect
directly from a tower to the road• The cables in tension support the road

Tension/Compression Bridge
• A beam bends under the weight of a load• When the beam bends, the top half is in
compression and the bottom half is in tension• The taller the beam, the stronger it is

Now let’s add vertical rods to help you see whatis going on. They serve no structural purpose.

The top rods are pushed together incompression
The bottom rods are pulled apart in tension

Tension/Compression - Truss
•As a beam gets taller and taller, itbecomes too costly and too heavy
•Solution: build a truss•Trusses have the same function as
beams, but are composed of triangles

Tension/Compression Configurations
• Simple– Beam or truss rests on one support on each end
• Continuous– Beam or truss continues over at least one support
between the end supports• Cantilever
– One (or both) ends of a beam or truss are projectedpast the end of a support - the projected anchor spans
– A subsequent beam or truss is connected to theprojected spans - the suspended span

Bending - Cantilever• Each projected span bends over a pier• Weight of suspended span applies a weight to the
ends of the projected spans• This also causes bending• Cantilevers are thickest over pier to resist bending

Classification of Form
• Bridges are classified based on location ofstructure relative to the road (deck)– Deck: (structure beneath road)– Pony: (structure next to, but not above road)– Through: (structure above road)– Half Through (structure above and below road)

Classification Challenge
• For each bridge, try to classify it!• Use the following categories:
– Form: deck, pony, through, half through– Type: tension, compression, tension/compression– Style: arch, suspension, cable stayed, beam,
truss– Beam Configuration (if applicable): deck, pony,
