Steel Bridge Sweeps Regional Competition! On to Nationals for BEARzilla!
The Berkeley Steel Bridge Team's entry, BEARzilla, received 1st place overall, and in all 6 subcategories, at the AISC regional competition held at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Berkeley's sweeping victory qualifies them to advance to the national competition in May.
The team's civil and mechanical engineers work together to design, machine, weld, and assemble a 22-foot-long bridge that is required to be loaded to 2500 pounds with minimal deflection.
The competition is based on 3 main categories: weight, assembly time, and deflection under load.
