Progress Report 8

The mechanism calculations were performed and a custom motor is required to satisfy the low speed and high torque requirements of the bridge. The mechanical parts and results comply with AASHTO standards for a safe and efficient bridge design. A final cost analysis is compiled for the new projected cost of the full sized bridge. This is based on the final cost of all members and the estimated cost of the mechanical parts, construction, and other necessary labor and parts for the pedestrian bridge.
