Notes and Tips

To understand why the West Point Bridge Designer 2010 would not be an appropriate tool for designing a real bridge, see What is Not Realistic about WPBD.

If you need to design a real bridge, you must obtain the services of a registered professional civil engineer. To do anything less would be irresponsible.
