Design a bridge to span a small stream. Assume that rigid supports are available on each bank, 10.0 ft apart. The bridge is to be 3.0 ft wide and carry a uniformly distributed load of 60 lb/ft2 over its entire area. Design only the deck boards and beams. Use two or more beams of any size from Appendix or others of your own design.Would the bridge you designed in Problem be safe if a horse and rider weighing 2200 lb walked slowly across it?
