Analysis And Interpretation Of The 2013 Wku Steel Bridge Competition, Dylan H. Ward
Analysis And Interpretation Of The 2013 Wku Steel Bridge Competition, Dylan H. Ward
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
This research centers on building a working steel bridge that can hold over 2500 pounds, while deflecting no more than 1.5 inches. Weighing less than 150 pounds, the bridge was designed by inputting models into programs such as SAP and Visual Analysis, and adding the required load effects. Creating such a bridge involves various disciplines such as fabrication, communication, engineering, computer science, and economics. This presentation will address the design procedure, the building process, and the challenges faced by the team. This experience has allowed the bridge team to see what it takes to finish a project from start to …

A Discussion Of Structural Analysis Techniques For Western Kentucky University's Concrete Canoe, "Courageous", Aaron J. Daley
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
One of the most famous aspects of the WKU Civil Engineering department is the annual student participation in the Concrete Canoe Competition. This year-long project requires seniors to design, manage construction for, and compete with a twenty-foot long boat made out of concrete and reinforcement. It is important to know the loads that the canoe will experience during its use in paddling races. The process for determining these internal forces is called structural analysis. For my project I will be discussing the analysis process employed for the 2013 concrete canoe, exploring accuracy, technical knowledge required, and the practical application of …
