I-Beam Suspension Bridge Details
The I-Beam suspension bridge requires the following:
Note that this suspension bridge is constructed using the I-beams sideways for the arched parts of the bridge.
Because the I-beams bend more in this orientation, they form a curve. The beams used in this manner will take a
set and be permanently bent.
This picture shows the entire bridge structure with three Load Cells attached.
