🌉 Truss Bridge Failure Lab: Member Buckling, Overload and Modular Bridge Loads

Direct-stiffness truss solver with Euler/Johnson member buckling, influence lines and a progressive-failure cascade on a Blender-built steel bridge. Unlike general bridge-collapse or Tacoma demos, it shows which member fails first and why.

A direct-stiffness truss solver with Euler/Johnson member buckling, influence lines, thermal stress and a progressive-failure cascade on a Blender-built steel bridge. Unlike the general bridge-collapse or Tacoma-style demos in the catalogue, it shows which member fails first, why compression members buckle before yielding, and how redundancy and modular panel stacking change capacity. Structural-engineering teaching model only.
