ts structures: load-testing tied arch bridges
TS Structures tutors Anderson Inge and Philip Cooper set the 2nd Year class the challenge of actually building and load-testing concrete ‘tied arch’ bridges.
ts structures: load-testing tied arch bridges
The class worked in four teams of 15, sharing between them all of the required design,
analysis, detailing, fabrication and testing. Only a very schematic diagram was given to the
class to start them off, setting the general form of the bridge as well as  some ‘performance
criteria’ pertaining to proportion and load/area.
ts structures: load-testing tied arch bridges
Beyond this basic information, the success of all four bridges is tribute to the extraordinary job the teams did in integrating lecture content with the very real and divergent concerns of
aesthetics, structure, materials, detailing and logistics.
