Suspension Bridge Details
Note that the suspension bridge is constructed using the I-beams sideways for the arched part 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.
