I currently have a very light weight (less than pedestrian) modular steel bridge design. I'm trying to estimate its constructed cost, and could use your help/experience.
The bridge module comes in at just under 100 plf (pounds/linear foot). Steel is currently going for about $666/ton =...
I have a startup company that needs bridge engineering design services. Its unusual in that we seek a modular bridge whose design is not site specific, and is robust enough to be deployable within a region. Thus we need a good design up-front, and then will need some follow-on work for each...
I'm hoping for some shared wisdom here. I'm designing a bridging system for an autonomous transit network (ATN) - light-weight modern form of APM. It is roughly in the class of pedestrian bridge with light vehicle capability, and similar in form to pony truss bridges with outboard walkways...
