    Design of A Pedestrian Bridge

    Uploaded by

    lilian_vasquez
    This presentation summarized the design of a proposed pedestrian bridge over a river in Tivoli, NY. Key aspects of the design included a Pratt truss structural system made of steel or timber, piers founded on spread footings, stairs and a handicap accessible ramp and lift. Structural analysis showed the truss members were adequately sized for expected gravity, lateral, and earthquake loads. Future plans could include adding an observation platform and incorporating solar energy or bringing the design to an engineering firm for further development.
