That was my thought too. I also understand stand that when you shorten a piece like a stringer, it’s strength potential increases by more than the weight decrease. I realize that a bridge that is engineered for SG equipment is not good my to be overloaded with 2’ NG equipment. Since loadings and stresses are discussed from time to time, I was just curious if the reengineered numbers were available for comparison.
