The team constructed the bridge with a total time of 10:19. The team incurred 3 15-second penalties; one for dropping a nut, one for dropping a tool and one for the support sliding out of the footing. Therefore the total competition construction time was 11:04. The bridge had a final weight of 235 lbs. The team also incurred a 100 lb penalty because the bolts extended 1\/4 inch beyond the decking support surface. The bridge passed the lateral load test but ultimately failed during the vertical load test under a 2225-lb load. The collapse occurred due to shear in the bolts. The next step for the team is to perform a failure analysis.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-408\" src=\"http:\/\/engprojects.tcnj.edu\/steelbridge16\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/76\/2016\/04\/Picture1.jpg\" alt=\"Picture1\" width=\"587\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/engprojects.tcnj.edu\/steelbridge16\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/76\/2016\/04\/Picture1.jpg 587w, https:\/\/engprojects.tcnj.edu\/steelbridge16\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/76\/2016\/04\/Picture1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 587px) 100vw, 587px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The competition took place on April 9th at the City College of New York.
