The prototype is for a 4' mini ramp with deck. Each section is 8' wide and has one transition. Four such sections, welded together, would make a 16' wide mini ramp with 10' flat-bottom. The prototype drawing could be modified to make a spine ramp or to add bowl corners. The prototype could also be modified to make a taller mini ramp or vert ramp.
The king post is the central, vertical member of the truss. Crown posts in the nave roof at Old Romney church, Kent, England. A king post (or king-post or kingpost) is a central vertical post used in architectural or bridge designs, working in tension to support a beam below from a truss apex above (whereas a crown post, though visually similar, supports items above from the beam below).
Structural steel design – Structural system – Strut channel – Subbasement – Subframe – Sublimation – Subsumption architecture – Surface tension – Superhard material – Surveying – Suspension bridge – is a type of bridge in which the deck (the load-bearing portion) is hung below suspension cables on vertical suspenders.
Deck designs can be found in numerous books, do-it-yourself magazines, and websites, and from the USDA. [8] Typical construction is either of a post and beam architecture, or a cantilever construction. The post-and-beam construction relies on posts anchored to piers in the ground.
A gusset plate can form the entire connection or it can be used in conjunction with bolts or welds. [2] There are several prominent connection types that include gusset plates, which include KT gusset plates, uniform force bracing connections, and bolt groups. A KT gusset plate connects several members together through one gusset plate. The ...
Exact details for post-to-truss connections vary from designer to designer, and may be influenced by post type. Solid-sawn timber and glulam posts are generally notched to form a truss bearing surface. The truss is rested on the notches and bolted into place. A special plate/bracket may be added to increase connection load transfer capabilities.
The deck is raised on posts above the main cables. Stressed ribbon bridge: a modern descendant of the simple suspension bridge. The deck lies on the main cables, but is stiff, not flexible. Suspension bridge (more precisely, suspended-deck suspension bridge): the most familiar type. Though technically all the types listed here are suspension ...
A Post truss is a hybrid between a Warren truss and a double-intersection Pratt truss. Invented in 1863 by Simeon S. Post, it is occasionally referred to as a Post patent truss although he never received a patent for it. [28] The Ponakin Bridge and the Bell Ford Bridge are two examples of this truss.
