1. WON TOO TREE
2. hello
   you people need protect eye glass
3. He cheated.. he had more Asians in his team...
4. the load should be on top of the bridge structure for more accurate testing.
5. viry cliver
6. say, isn't the load-bearing point supposed to be at the center of the bridge?
7. As the attachment point for the load is not in the middle of the bridge this bridge has an unfair advantage. By moving the attachment point even closer to the end of the bridge you could easily inrease the possible load.
8. so how much is the in american?
9. anyone who knows a good textbook for truss construction,,,doin a similar project
10. no one drive on that part of a bridge
11. Why the repetition of "1...2...3"?
12. learn about bridge design
13. The load is not centered, but its nice.
