Here is a quick look at the anticipated delivery of a 1937 truss bridge originating from Michigan. The trusses will be setup later this spring for use at Purdue University's Steel Bridge Research, Inspection, Training, and Engineering Center (S-BRITE) located outside of campus. The S-BRITE Center is under the direction of Associate Professor of Civil Engineering Robert Connor.
Also featured in the video is the placement of an abutment that will serve as a base for the truss. The full-scale specimens were part of a Purdue research project led by Professor of Civil Engineering Amit Varma. The upcycled beams were a perfect match for the needed base.
