You did it again. (Hint: you're "indicating a stronger break in the flow
of a sentence" where it's both unwarranted and not indicated.)

yo! visualize the wheel as a straight truss lacking a hub or a wheel
as a straight truss curved in a circle. contemporary buildings
designed with wood floors have floors supported by wooden trusses
similar to bicycle wheels. i'll go find one and post it.
but to answer the width height problem lookit the follo wing joist
table for joist (truss/rim) height and relationship to span.

yeah- here's a truss site, see the bottom for hyperlinks


http://www.artruss.com/faqfloor.htm

i forget but guesstimate that adding an inch or worse 2 inches to a
2x8x8 for a 3x8x8 or 4x8x8 doesn't get the builder anywhere.
2x8x8 spans 10' with a normal floor load and say normal eastern
hemlock
3x8x8 isn't going to span 12' and a 4buh8 could make the 12' but be
weaker than a 2x10x8 (2'' wide 8''high 8 feet long.
mostly what the extra width does is add weight to the joist and
functional reduce strength by adding more weight than strength
wood and steel are roughly comparable materials for the purposes of
the discussion.

the domed rim is exactly thus-a dome. the dome was an architectural
wonder 1000 years ago. search the net. the spanish/arabs/jews built
unusual domes-very spoked possibley spooked yet the actaul dimensions
are small from the primitive materails
domes are too curvy to build from wood without a big ahssle but rim
aluminum that's a plus dome building material caws its melted in an
electric furnace and squirted thru a mold to form structural rim
members

here's a few brudge truss sites
the pennsylvania stone bridges are fantastic and off course the air
spaces are wheel spaces, inverse parsec. I missed one driving on the
wrong river side, maybe later.
there's RR bridge at the edge of the old reading railroad yard in
reading, pa mimics some designs found in colorado cyclist: if
remembering correctly, the abutment stone is laid in spirals forming
an arch within the truncated pyrimidial abutment. the reading bypass
bridge is, like the wheel, a curved truss bridge lies below the
hillclimb used by duryea for carriage testing.

and as an example of group 2 wheel tuning:



"Navajo bridge is located in Marble canyon ,Arizona.It,s about 3 hrs
from Las Vegas.At the jump we will freefall about 225 feet,stretching
out almost to almost 430 feet on the bungee cord.If you want to see
some photos from the navajo bridge ,check these out!! "

As your Simplon link is a repeat of the Vaduz link, I went looking and
very happily found this amazing page:

The tay bridge as tacoed wheel
http://taybridgedisaster.co.uk/
appears as: a carpenter's temporary structure, a ham radio operator's
tower WITH GUY WIRES, and the ultimate railroad bridge taco. Is that a
TACO wheel or what? Our perspective, and the engineers' decision
making process of industrial revolution England and 21 century America
are probabbbly radically different but check out the last link for
comparison
The 'weakest link' iron towers were apparently replaced with
uncompressible stone when side loaded by wind.

Cut the spokes, pull them out, and replace. Not sure why this thread has
