BUILDING STRUCTURES PROJECT 1 FETTUCCINE TRUSS BRIDGEPatricia Kong
The document summarizes the methodology, precedent study, materials testing, and progression of building and testing multiple fettuccine truss bridges as part of a student project. Key points:
1) The project required building and testing a fettuccine truss bridge to withstand the most weight using minimal materials.
2) Multiple bridges were built and tested, with improvements made based on weaknesses identified.
3) Testing included materials testing to select the strongest fettuccine brand and adhesive, as well as load testing bridges to determine maximum weight supported.
4) The 127th Street Bridge was used as a precedent study for its unique Warren truss design with vertical elements.
The document describes the process of designing and testing models of a truss bridge made of fettuccine. Four truss bridge models were constructed and tested to evaluate their load bearing efficiency. The final design adopted the Warren truss pattern and used an I-beam structure to strengthen the beams. Various materials and methods were tested to optimize the bridge's strength and weight. Load testing provided data to analyze failures and improve subsequent designs.

This is the presentation I gave yesterday about the excellent Austroads Bridge Conference I attended in Melbourne to the DownerMouchel Senior Management Team and my colleagues.
This document discusses various methods for evaluating existing bridges, including visual inspection, load testing, structural health monitoring, non-destructive evaluation, and finite element modeling. Visual inspection is the primary and most common method, but it is subjective. Load testing is used to determine safe loading levels. Structural health monitoring uses sensors to monitor structural response over time. Non-destructive evaluation enables detection of deterioration without damaging the structure. Finite element modeling provides a more accurate approach than traditional methods by accounting for factors like material properties and cracking.

Galvanized Steel
Galvanized steel is steel that has been coated with zinc to prevent
corrosion. The steel is submerged in hot, meltedzinc, which triggers a
chemical reaction that permanently bonds the zinc and steel together.
During the galvanization process, the steel is first exposed to zinc at a
temperature of approximately 860 degrees.The zinc reacts to available
oxygen in the environment to form zinc oxide, which then forms zinc
carbonate after reacting to carbon dioxide. Iron molecules in the steel react
with the zinc, creating layers of metal that are able to withstand even long
term contact with saltwater.
*In addition to steel advantages and disadvantages on page 10, galvanized
steel provides the followingas well:
Advantages Disadvantages
Long life Internal rusting
Low corrosion Unstable joints
Protection at all areas Water contamination
16. 15 | P a g e
Weathering Steel
"Weathering" refers to the chemical composition of these steels,
allowing them to exhibit increased resistance to atmospheric corrosion
compared to other steels.This is because the steel forms a protective layer
on its surface under the influence of the weather. The corrosion-retarding
effect of the protective layer is produced by the particular distribution and
concentration of alloying elements init. The layer protecting the surface
develops and regenerates continuously when subjected to the influence of
the weather. In other words, the steel is allowed to rust in order to form the
'protective' coating.
Advantages Disadvantages
Low maintenance
Marine environments
o Weathering steel should
not be used for bridges
within 2km of coastal
water.
Appearance improves with
age
Atmospheric Pollution
Weathering steel should not be
used in atmospheres where high
concentrationsof corrosive
chemicalsor industrialfumes,
specificallySO2, are present.

Bridge Material Recommendation
Weathering steel is no longer an option because:
o It should not be used in atmospheres where high
concentrationsof corrosive chemicals or industrial
fumes are present
o It is within 2 K of coastal waters
This leaves the optionsof:
o Painted Steel
o Aluminum
o GalvanizedSteel

Aluminum Versus Steel Life Cycle Cost
20. 19 | P a g e
Figure 1 shows the Present Value (PV) for each cost and Total Cost of
Ownership (TCO) for each option fora three percent discount rate.Using a
three percent discount rate, aluminum has a better TCO than all other steel
options bymore than $7,000 for an urban environment, and bymore than
$16,000 for a maritime environment.Aluminum has a TCO equivalent to
galvanized steel after 33 years in the urban environment,and after 21 years
in the maritime environment.When employinga six percent discount rate,
aluminum has a better TCO than all other steel options bymore than $4,000
in all maritime and urban environments except Hot-Dip Galvanized in an
urban setting;in this case, both aluminum and steel are close to being equal
in terms of TOC at the end of 50 years. Aluminum has a TCO equivalent to
galvanized steel after 50 years in the urban environment,and after 21 years
in the maritime environment.

The recommended material to be used for the
bridge is aluminum.
1. Cost:
The material cost itself is the least
It hasthe least total cost of ownership
2. It scored the highest amount of point in the materials
matrix, due to advantageousfactors that outweighed
those of the other materials.

Bridge Option Decision
Maximum allowed loadaccording to Geotechnicalreport:
4500 psf
Load the drill shafts of the 60 foot bridge would have to
resist:
5000 psf
Recommended cause of action:
1. Have geotechnicalengineer drill 50 feet, obtain bore
hole, and provide allowableskin friction resistance or
other method to resist 5000 psf
2. Use the 28 foot bridge option
Decision:
To use the 28 foot option
o Less project cost due to the size being half
of the 60 foot
o Cost of geotechnical engineer drilling bore
holes saved
