Course project 1 contains my responses to the nine questions related to the Oresund Bridge project. I have answered them to the best of my ability. 1. What process would you use for identifying project risks for a second Oresund Bridge project? What risks would you raise for each alternative? For such an extremely large project like this to identify project risks, I would start with the basic premise of a conducting a SWOT analysis which allows for identifying Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities

simple bridge truss was the first structure I ever analyzed. The simple combination of beams that could hold cars, trains, and trucks over long spans of water fascinated me. Having the tools to analyze the loads on the truss further increased my interest in structures. I encountered the bridge in a textbook for my first engineering class. Knowing that the professor, Mr. John Doe, was a tough teacher, I asked him for the textbook so I could study and get ready for the class over the summer. Just

transportation phenomenon, architectural growth and modernized living, it has become an understatement to solely say “things have changed.” Among all these extravagant developments comes the marvel of the bridge. It's safe to say that even centuries ago, the early humans must have created bridges from the simple material they found surrounding them in their all natural environment.

Task 6: Crash Testing Plan The final bridge railing systems should be tested according to the MASH TL-3 or TL-4. In TL-3 for example, two tests are recommended: A 2425-lb vehicle impacting the critical impact point (CIP) of the length of need (LON) of the barrier at a nominal impact speed and angle of 62 mph and 25 degrees, respectively. This test investigates a barrier’s ability to successfully contain and redirect a small passenger vehicle. A 5000-lb pickup truck impacting the CIP of the LON
