Build It
This is your construction site. This is the locale at which you can establish your structure. To manufacture your dreams and set your launchpad for discovery into the uncharted skies of engineering à la web. We'll hold back before we get too emotional. Anyway, here's the deal. You click below to go to the builder, which runs a Java applet. It's a builder application where you can build structures (such as bridges and towers) using joints and beams and then save them to our server. Once they are saved, all the bridges are accessible via the Viewer. Using the Tester, you will then be able to put a load on your structure and test it.

For instructions, see the Quick Start. This is highly recommended even just so you can understand the menu and key controls in the applet.

If your browser supports Java, good for you. If it doesn't please get "caffienated" soon. Our applets don't accept decaf...get my drift? Full Walkthrough is an interesting place where you can learn all about the technical aspects of statics.
