    First Timer’s Second Bridge Design!

    By on November 11, 2008 - Modified November 7, 2010

    Hey guys it’s me again, First Timer. Taking the critiques you guys gave, I rebuilt the bridge. This was going to a county Science Fair which I think is pretty cool considering I started learning about bridges about 2 months ago. The specs of the bridge are:

    • Weight: 15grams
    • Weight held: TBD
    • Length: 40.5cm
    • Width: 11.5cm
    • Span: 27 (height of span 8.5)
    • Height: 13.5cm

      sorry i haven’t had any new post just school is so busy but this bridge was able to get me 6th out of 50+ bridge builders so i am quite happy it held 20.9 pounds with 1.34 lbs per gram
