ARET 2220 Cox: Required Clearances and Widths

Required Clearances and Widths

These are some requirements I will need to incorporate into the design. The required vertical height clearance for this bridge will need to be 5.5m above all paved surfaces. The width for two directional cycle and pedestrian traffic is a minimum of 3.5m and the maximum slope for wheel chair accessibility will be 1:12.

Nothing about bridge dimensions, but I thought this may be useful to incorporate into your bridge design.

Large spans possible with sustainable materials.

Thanks Matt. I think bamboo would be a crazy material to build the bridge out of. Too bad it doesnt grow better in this area.
