A1-REIFF

I designed my bridge with as many small triangles as possible because I felt this allowed for their to be a minimum amount of tension or compression on each beam of the bridge.  I added extra support toward the far right and far left sides of the bridge so that it would not break right when the truck drives onto the bridge and drives off of the bridge.  Over time I added as many beams as I could so there would be less tension and compression on each beam.  Then I realized that some beams were not supporting much and were just causing the bridge to cost more, so I removed them from the design of my bridge.  Right now my bridge costs approximately $873,000,000.  I believe that over time I can reduce that price by at least $100,000,000 as I keep removing beams I feel are unnecessary for the bridge to be successful.  By building this bridge, I have learned what shapes work best, and how much joints help in particular places. However, I also learned that I was overspending on some extra beams and I learned that it's quality and not the quantity of beams that the bridge has that matters.  It's all about where the beams are placed.  Below are all of the screenshots of my design and its tests.
