I’m making a bridge for engineering class .. It’s meant to be 648mm long.. 100mm tall and 75 mm wide… And a weight of 75 grams… Your design is pretty good.. What sort of joints did you use for it? I’m stuck on deciding what joints to use.. Mine is a Warren truss bridge… My main aim is acheiving a good strength to weight ratio. My bridge weighs 52 grams

If this design was used with popsicle sticks would it work?

Tessa, I did not use popsicle sticks on this bridge. I used Basswood. I used two types of glue, Weldbond mostly and a little Probond.

What kind of popsicle sticks did you use, just regular, or a certain kind. Also, what kind of glue?

okayyyyy so like i have to build a bridge for class out of balsa wood and then we put our bridges on a metal pole and put weights on top. i am afraid that no matter what we do it will be instantly crushed. is this true?
