Cost Structure:
13
The CE311 Steel Bridge Competition
Cost Structure: Cost = Structural $ + Constr. $ + Late $
14
The CE311 Steel Bridge Competition
Cost Structure: Cost = Structural $ + Constr. $ + Late $ Structural Cost is minimized by: A light bridge A stiff bridge
15
The CE311 Steel Bridge Competition
Cost Structure: Cost = Structural $ + Constr. $ + Late $ Structural Cost is minimized by: A light bridge A stiff bridge Construction Cost is minimized by: A bridge that can be quickly assembled
16
The CE311 Steel Bridge Competition
Cost Structure: Cost = Structural $ + Constr. $ + Late $ Structural Cost is minimized by: A light bridge A stiff bridge Construction Cost is minimized by: A bridge that can be quickly constructed Late Costs: huge penalties for fabricating after the deadline.
