WOW! That's very impressive. (yeh, I know- I'm a little late in posting this.
:-) It has a nice shape and looks very stout. The relatively large height
(compared to the span length) gives it a lot of strength. I like how you doubled
some of the chord members to eliminate the eccentricity.
I'm glad you found my spreadsheet of some use ;-)
Regarding the contest, I think if the bridges had been judged on a weight to
strength ratio, yours probably would have won!
best,
TJ
