Cambodian Context
Consider the
imperative! How is
transport
mismanaged?
Structural and
material design.
Existing Bridge
Design Techniques
Supportive technical
calculations!
For Today!
A little
confused?
Your tutors
are here to
help!
1: Economic Feasibility
Financial justifications:
Costing analyses and budgeting,
E x p e c t e d p e r f o r m a n c e
calculations, and
Financial projections (revenue
estimates, PNL (profits and
loss) statements, payback
period estimates).
Refer to textbook Chapter 10:
Evaluating Options. You will be
doing some practise financial
questions in the tutorials today.
2: Structural Design
Member Design
-Design by Axial Loads
-Tensile members
-Compression members
-Member Types
-Cables
-Member Sizing based on load magnitudes.
Connections Design imperative for transferring
loads and bending moments.
2: Material Design
Strength/Load Bearing Capacity
Flexural Rigidity
Ductility and Ductile Failure
Corrosion Resistance
UV Resistance
Resource Availability
Price Point
Context-Dependency
3: Construction Processes
Project Management skills are imperative to
ensuring structural integrity is maintained throughout
construction.
Not only must designs be structural sound upon
completion, but also DURING construction.
Consider the following How Stuff Works video:

Do you know
what these terms
mean?
-DEAD loads/actions
- We specify the amount of materials used. We can look up
standard densities for the materials used. How can we then
determine the load from each material?
Consider the definition of density and Newtons laws: = m/V AND F = ma!
-IMPOSED loads/actions
Flow Rate, Q
You are able to control how high your device floats in
the water by controlling how much water the floatation
tanks hold, allowing inflow and outflow.
We need to consider flow rates!
Reynolds Equivalence
A prototype aircraft is intended to fly at 600 km / h. We will
study a model in a wind tunnel at 1 : 20 scale respecting the
Reynolds number condition.
a) If the conditions of pressure and temperature are the same
in the wind tunnel as in the atmosphere, what must be the
air velocity in the wind tunnel ?
b) For the previous test, calculate the forces applied to the
model and the prototype.
Solution (a)

Solution (b)
