As for those of you who would actually build a puny bridge, rather then laying the road across a 25 million cubic meter dam, GBU-24 wants to say hi.

If a piece is under only tensile stress, not compressive stress, make it a tube. Tubes are cheaper than bars.ArmorPierce wrote:Yes got it to work at $211,000. NOw to lower the price some more.

I doubt even the government would let me build a bridge. I had to use all 120 alotted members just to get the fucking thing to not fall in the river on its own.Exonerate wrote:RedImperator wrote:My best design so far cost three times that much, is horrible overengineered, and still sags two meters in the middle when the truck passes over it.

3x? Thats VERY expensive... Hell, it sounds like something that our government would do...

EDIT: $128,658.04. There's two pairs of solid members in the whole thing and it's all carbon steel. I don't think I can possibly make it any cheaper using this site and this basic design.
EDIT: Final design, $126,945.49. It wobbles if you so much as look at it funny, but it works.
