SFSU Steel Bridge Team ASCE 2014-15

05/08/2015

We will be participating in the 17th Annual College of Science and Engineering Student Project Showcase along with 200 other groups. The event will take place in Student Life Event Center (ANNEX I) on Friday, May 8th, 2015 from 3PM to 6PM. We will have our Steel Bridge on display outside the ANNEX, since it is too big to display it inside. If you would like to come see out bridge and know the design behind it, please stop by our booth!!
All of the members of this year's Steel bridge team is also graduating! So Congratulations to all of us!! We are also trying to put together a paper to help out next years team do better than what we did. So if you would like to share any tips or the things you've learned during this competition please email Meejala @ [email protected]. See you guys tomorrow at COSE Student Project Showcase!

We are very sad to announce that our steel bridge has been disqualified from the ASCE Steel Bridge Competition because of a violation of the Rule 9.3 " (4) if a violation exceeds 2”, the bridge will not be approved for load testing and will not be eligible for awards in any category." We missed this mark by only ONE inch. However our construction time was one of the best ones among all the school. We finished our construction in a little over 17 minutes. The average construction time of other school was approximately 25 mins. The best time was by Tongji University from China, who finished their construction in only 11.25 mins! This was a great learning experience for all of us and SFSU Team did a great job putting this project together ! Great work everyone! Good luck to SFSU team 2016 for next year preparation!

Who knew learning how to keep your hands steady while painting your nails would be so useful. One of our team mates practicing to weld.
