    The document provides information for a homework assignment on bridge design, including a table to be improved that lists various bridge types and their typical span lengths. The professor asks students to unite the two tables into a single table, add additional bridge type information, and make the table visually appealing. Students can work individually or in groups, and will be graded based on completeness, accuracy, and the simplicity and appeal of the graphics.

    FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY

    Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering

    CES-5325 / CGN-4930 Design of Highway Bridges - Spring Term 2005


    Professor L. A. Prieto-Portar

    Homework No. 1 (10 points)


    (due on Thursday, 3 February)
    The first two slides of Lecture #1 (in my website) show two tables that I prepared a few years
    ago, to represent all the bridge types versus their span length range. Those two tables need to be
    improved. Firstly, they need to be united in a single table. And secondly, they need to integrate
    some additional information offered below.
    You can work in groups, or individually. The grade (10 points) will be given based on (1) the
    completeness of using all the data provided and accuracy, and (2) the simplicity and appeal of the
    graphics, to you and others that will use it in the future.
