TestingThe bridge testing was completed as outlined by the design requirements given. The bridge was required to be a certain size and weight, and to hold a given weight as well. Certain design elements were required for testing, such as the hole in the center of the road deck. The results of the tests are shown here. Some aspects of the tests are a pass/fail test, and others have a numerical output, like weight.
