Didnt' get 'em earlier...

...but the Miners at Missouri S&T, had a funky little arch/stack sorta Bridge in the Mid-Con... will only say this once...ARCHES ARE SHIT WITHOUT RIGID ABUTMENTS...so if you're Bridge is freestanding and has no real moment resistance at the pier supports, it will bend and dip all over the place. TENSION ONLY, and even then...maybe!!!

...and what d'ya know, they failed vertical deflection...shockuh!!! Learn and be better next season Miners...Ole' Rolla used to be a kickass Team, bring it back!!!

Les Verticales

Couldn't help but notice, and it may be that it has been repeated, but all Top 3 finishes this year from Vegas had vertical chords in their Bridges...typically it's a useless chord, but with certain loading scenarios and member configurations it defintely serves a good purpose. Could be on a multi-vertical rigid frame ala Cal in 2008, or in a strategic location on an underslung like SUNY Canton, NDSU and Lakehead in 2009. Food for thought.
