Bridge Construction




This is a project i undertook as a group last year. The specification said to build a bridge out of Balsa Wood, we then had to make it retain and certain weight without breaking which it exceeded and held a little more.
this was due to the arch design and struts keeping it together.
when looking at how it broke it seemed to be due to one side being weaker than the other. maybe less dense wood on one side?
