PART #2: Strut force and Friction Coefficient testing with @paratech_inc in preparation for our upcoming Webinar. In this test, we are testing our friction coefficients for fry concrete and how it compares to test 1 with a zero friction coefficient. Our setup is identical to try 1, strut at a 45-degree angle and chained base to base. Make sure to check out our upcoming @paratech_inc webinar to see all of our findings. #ffprovinggrounds #trainyourprobie #hookandcan #maketraininggreatagain #appara

Steel truss bridges are under increasing pressure due to their age and extreme weather caused by climate change, but new research could show how to keep them standing. A group of researchers tested a scale model of one such bridge to destruction and found that it could resist collapse through six surprising mechanisms. They hope that this will allow engineers to reinforce these bridges in future to prevent their collapse | Nature
