I found the testing part of the bridge the most rewarding because it showed us that our bridge was sucessful in eceding to hold more than the minimum amount of waeight needed.

I think the strenghts of our design was using the truss beams so that the tension and weight would be spread witin the bridge.

I would make sure the bottom was flat because our bridge wasn't flat were it touched the sides so it was a weaker point. It would have affected our bridge because the bootom base of our bridge was still together when the bridge failed.

Som tips are to make sure you allow enough time for the glue to dry. Also to make sure you arent just setting the glued pices on the table because the stick reaaly well.

Our bridge when it broke.

Our bridge.

 

We chosse a truss design it has a lot of supports in the triangular peices so i think it will spread the pressure out evenly with in the bridge. Beacuse the wieght is evenly spread the base will beable to hold Quite a bit of wieght.

Putting the triangle peices on.

Cuttting the hole for the weights to be put on.

Removing the wax paper that stuck to the spegetti.

Putting Glue On some of the support peices.

Making The base Structure.

Putting pressure on the glue so it will stick.

The construction process we have taken is to do all of the pices together . This worked well because we were able to consult on what size we needed to make different peices to make our bridge.

Adding more support.
