Making the truss into your railing, introduces lateral stability issues that should be accounted for. Can lead to sudden failure of your bridge. These calculations are not read chart and get your member type designs. king post under bridge is a much simpler design for stress and loading. your...

Yes the bridge can be totally redesigned to get rid of king post, but you are making the structure a lot more complicated and harder to build safely . in a suspension bridge the towers are in compression and have relatively equal forces acting on each side the bridge under discussion is truss...

Many comments are missing the facts that the wall is foreign country, not designed and stone is hard to get

Tensile strength required depends on height of wall and properties of the soil

Geofabric has no tensile strength . It will not help retaining wall if you want to use fence look at chain link not the plastic fence

The orange construction fence looks similar to Geogrid but is not close to same properties.waste of money to use plastic fence geo fabric does not have the strength of Geogrid. Do not use fabric most retaining walls fail due to pressure from water behind the wall, drain the water and the wall...
