  5. Had Purdue slid their bridge away from the edge of the foundation easement, they would have swept the regional competition. They were the only ones to have a cantilever deflection less than 1/2". Hope they appeal to get to the national competition.

    1. That's the brutality of the NSSBC! Personally i don't think the appeal should be granted, making sure your bridge is inside the envelope when time is called is just as important as meeting deflection limits.

      Bummer Purdue...maybe next year.

      Who else qualified from this region?

    2. Holy UC Berkley! The mid-pac results are up and they are looking insanely good!

  6. Regarding MidPac...UC Davis had hella penalties...they completed their MidPac effort on the tailend of finals week...the PMs slept about 20 hours the final two weeks to get their design up to snuff...quite frankly, the Ags feel lucky and fortunate to be qualified for Clemson., but the hard work HAS paid off, and that's a testament to their preparedness. They are making every effort to update their design to get up to a level that is maximally competitive come late May. Those numbers from Cal are coming off a relatively late build for the Bears. The humanpower in Berkeley is phenomenal, and their project management is very sound, as is their design...I'd be hard pressed to find a better overall Steel Bridge Team in Clemson, SC than Cal at the moment. The Lateral Will Out.

    1. Berkeley really looks strong, I saw that myself and from what I've seen from news of other regions, no one has come close to match their might... we'll see what happens at the NSSBC!
