We're down to two design concepts. This week we'll be exploring the geometric variations, connection layouts, section sizes, girder cross-sections, etc. for each of the two concepts. Once we've developed a healthy amount of options we'll model each of them, compare the efficiencies, explore construction sequences, and estimate construction times. This weeks analysis should position us nicely for another narrowing of options.
We've added more tools to our arsenal as we have a very good lead on a CNC facility willing to help us fabricate connections, which could dramatically impact some of the design decision we make. We'll want to move quickly on this front, though, because we want plenty of time to test any out of the box ideas we might pursue.
"Bolt Consolidation" Its never to early to consider, but be careful of the new rules.
