West Point Bridge Designer - Version 4
About WPBD 4  

The West Point Bridge Designer 4 has been replaced by WPBD 2005, which includes a number of significant improvements. WPBD 4 is no longer supported and cannot be used to enter the West Point Bridge Design Contest. Nonetheless, Version 4 is still popular with many teachers and students, because it offers seven different design projects with varying span lengths and because it is the basis for Designing and Building File-Folder Bridges. Thus it is still offered on this site.
