WK1 BRIDGES

BRIDGE 1: Bamboo skewers with glue. Truss structure from above
The main reason of failure on this bridge are the joints. The bamboo skewers are fairly resilient, the glue couldn't handle the tensile force created from the load.



BRIDGE 2: Bamboo skewers with elastic bands and fishing line. The same structure as bridge 1.
The rubber bands holding the skewers together started to stretch but not break. This bridge also required an extra push before falling through the tables.




BRIDGE 3: Paper. Rolled up paper design.
This design was very strong. Able to hold up a great amount of force. Sheets of paper were rolled up to create a very solid structure. Eventual failure would have been caused by reaction force from table creating creases on each end of the structure
