Thanks Tetters!
Been thinking about the bridge deck this morning. since the bents are under control, decided I need to figure out how the deck will be built. From looking at the real photos -
It seems that the bridge deck is built like this:
Note: The bridge deck sits on four 12" x 12" I-beams which are not shown in the drawing.
Anybody have an comments or thoughts or see it differently?
As for the build, instead of using indivdual deck boards on top of the I-beams, am thinking about using styrene sheet with lines scribed in to represent the boards. May have to glue too sheets together to get the thickness needed.
