Defines the bridge alignment within the campus corridor, illustrating circulation patterns, adjacent buildings, and the relationship between pedestrian movement and roadway infrastructure.
A parametric 3D model used to study structural behaviour, cable geometry, and spatial integration, balancing slender structural expression with functional pedestrian flow.
Conceptual analysis validating the load path from catenary cables to steel beams and HSS columns, confirming stability, serviceability, and overall structural performance.
Developed within AE 205 – Solid Mechanics II, this project explores the behaviour of frames, arches, and suspended structural systems through the design of a cable-supported pedestrian bridge. The work synthesizes core analytical principles including stress and strain transformations, strain energy concepts, virtual work, and energy methods to understand load paths and structural response. Emphasis was placed on serviceability and stability, particularly column buckling and tension-dominant behaviour within the catenary cable system. The project serves as a comprehensive application of mechanics theory translated into a coordinated structural design.
