Congratulations to GT and The Citadel!
It will be Cal and San Jose State from the Mid-Pacific. UC Davis had the Bridge to win the Region, but a roll of the dice, left mid-span lateral sway a hair too wide. It was heartbreaking for those involved. They were looking at a 175 lb, ~0.25 to 0.4 deflection, and about 5 builder, 1 pier and 6 minutes of time at the regional.
Good Luck to everyone at CSTX.
Load case was 3 or 4 I believe. The long span load was almost dead center of the span.
I am wondering what load scenario was used at the Pacific Southwest Conference. With deflections so low I'm wondering if they had load case 1 or 6 on the mainspan and whichever DCB location is closest to the cantilever end legs.
From what our friends and LA told us, te load scenario was near pier for both...it was a very favorable load case for beam type bridges.
