WK2 STRUCTURES

STRUCTURE 1: Bamboo skewers with glue
structure went flat after first load was applied. completely failed  when an imbalanced force was applied, causing it to sheer and fail. thin glue joints of the structure were the weak points, causing the failure.



STRUCTURE 2: Bamboo skewers with elastic bands and fishing wire
Very strong structure. Tightly wound rubber bands and fishing wire didn't cause much expansion when compression forces were applied to it. was capable of holding up person without "buckling".



Structure 3: Paper
structure failed. Wad unable to maintain stability. If the rolled up paper was perfectly flat and stable underneath, it would have been able to hold a great amount of compression forces.
