October starters

Phil and Matt discussed three different design philosophies at the Raiders vs. Browns game on Sunday. All would probably work for this year's bridge. The question is how efficient can a beam be at ~ 7 1/4" depth...8 1/2" depth (stacked?)? Fabrication and advanced planning will have to be at the forefront of the project decisions we're going to make in the next 8 weeks.

Design Meeting Thursday 10/5 right after the ASCE BBQ. Discuss bridge type selection, connections, but mainly construction issues concerns and tool/pier scenarios.

First General Meeting that will include all possible new members is set for:
Tuesday, 10/10, at 6:10 p.m. in 1213 Bainer Hall

-- no Wildcats, Hornets or Cal Bears allowed :-p
