For shop class I have to build a 12″ long bridge. I made a modified k-truss. I removed the green beams to save balsa wood. Its made of 1/8″ square balsa beams, and is 2″ tall. It has to hold 42 pounds in the middle. It is about like this, except with a beam on the bottom:

/|/|/|/|\|\|\|\
/ \|\|\|/|/|/ \
I’ll post the results once it is built and tested. Also I’m using thin CA glue.
Sorry, it messed up the spacing.
what factors were important in the design of this truss brigde ?
I did the K-truss for an architecture class and it turned out great! I won the prize for holding the most weight.
