The past few weeks I've been busy helping with the design of a few bridges. A few weeks ago we submitted our 90% bridge design for five bridge in western Mass. Two weeks ago we submitted our PS and E for an Inverset bridge up in central Mass. This past week we were very busy trying to get our 90% bridge design and 100% highway design finished.
Unlike the bridges in western Mass I was only able to design a few components of the arch in south eastern Mass but helped a lot with the drawings.
A taste of the designs which I accomplished this past month:
U-Wingwall
Curtain Wall
Backwall
Elastomeric Bearing
Retainer Plate
Bridge Rail

Piece Weights for Precast Abutment backwall, stems and footings
