Opting for a reliable and easily executable design was crucial given the tight construction timeline they faced. Despite grappling with the inherent weight concerns associated with I-beams, the team devised a solution by incorporating large holes in the bottom flange and implementing a hollow design for significant portions of the bridge. Additionally, they employed a creative strategy of interconnecting their supports to enhance stability and load-bearing capacity, a critical factor given the bridge&#8217;s requirement to withstand substantial weight. In the end, their innovative approach paid off as the bridge successfully withstood an impressive load of 2.2 tonnes.<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Team Members:<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Saeed Abdi, Rayan Sibai, Stephen Laditi, Abaidullah Arif, Pallav Sengupta, Matthew Baron, Asim Ahmed<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-dbc629f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"dbc629f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3153f4a\" data-id=\"3153f4a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d43d922 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d43d922\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">2022 First Place Winner - Multi-force members<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6aee7e2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6aee7e2\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a066003\" data-id=\"a066003\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f648c53 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f648c53\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"624\" height=\"181\" src=\"https:\/\/troitsky.skule.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Picture1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-09f7f7a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"09f7f7a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9104c4b\" data-id=\"9104c4b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1cfe36e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1cfe36e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The winning team\u2019s design was a <\/span><b>cable-stayed bridge<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with a <\/span><b>harp system<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This type was chosen as the cables would reduce the unsupported span of the deck, therefore reducing the need for piers obstructing the river underneath, and the amount of material needed to construct. An onramp was also created on the existing roads to elevate the bridge and allow higher clearance for boat traffic and a smooth transition for pedestrians and cyclists. The materials chosen were prestressed concrete for the deck, tower and piers, and high-strength steel strands to be interwoven into 63mm cables. The total bridge capacity was calculated at over 160 000 kN, taking into consideration live and dead loads. Potential failure points were identified as the deck\u2019s midway point in between cable supports, or in the cables themselves.\u00a0 Environmental considerations for the design included flooding mitigation, fishing and water ecosystems, and the nearby park areas.\u00a0 Traffic analysis showed a Level of Service B, with a posted speed limit of 50 km\/h for optimal flow.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Team Members:<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chielotam Agbatekwe, Amy Bagrin, Maya Chai-Foo, Anna Hii, Sacha Morin, Daniel Rivera Narvaez<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-17f27df elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"17f27df\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9cfa2d2\" data-id=\"9cfa2d2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0482cc8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0482cc8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">2022 Second Place Winner - iris<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8c6af23 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8c6af23\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ac12d24\" data-id=\"ac12d24\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-86db161 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"86db161\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"780\" height=\"476\" src=\"https:\/\/troitsky.skule.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Picture2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-240c161 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"240c161\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c645284\" data-id=\"c645284\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2569b84 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2569b84\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 2022 competition was held virtually once again, with the objective of designing a bridge to replace the seasonal ferry that connects Thurso, Quebec and Clarence Island, Ontario.

The bridge design had a carrying capacity of over 32 000 kN, a final elevation of over 24m to allow for boat traffic, a span of 133 m and a width of 18.6 m to allow for vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian lanes.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Team Members:<br><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aidan Ashton, Camilo Dugand, Fahd Mohammed, Sydney Ng, Kent Straky, Naomi Tian<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5f5eb61 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5f5eb61\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c450b5f\" data-id=\"c450b5f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a733657 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a733657\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">2020 First Place Winner - Fellowship of the bridge<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8953996 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8953996\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a30f191\" data-id=\"a30f191\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ad24fcc elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ad24fcc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"482\" height=\"643\" src=\"https:\/\/troitsky.skule.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Picture4.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-10b92a5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"10b92a5\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ebc3c69\" data-id=\"ebc3c69\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-25ea5c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"25ea5c7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The team decided to create an <\/span><b>I-beam structure<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to focus on the effectiveness of the structure over the aesthetics.
