    Pratt Truss Bridge Design Analysis

    Design Analysis

    This image shows the force on the Short Pratt Truss Bridge when it failed. I created this image to analyze how much force was on each member at the moment of failure. This shows that the member that failed was under 1/2 * 57 pounds of force (which equals 28.5 pounds).
