Popsicle Arch Bridge
By AlexAltea on November 18, 2008 - Modified February 25, 2011
These are the photos of a popsicle bridge that I made for a bridge building contest at my university in Spain. The weight of the bridge was 3.9kg, and the bridge held 700kg without breaking. This gives it an efficiency score of 180. The dimensions of underneath the arc are 90cm x 55cm.
How long is it? Our brige at school has to be 25 cm.
Hey, can you take some closeups so that i can se how it was made?
hi, this is cool. in my 11th grade T.A.G. (talented and gifted) class we are making popsicle stick briidges and we cant use no more than 100 popsicle sticks. it is pretty fun too. me and my friend just saw the picture on top of the site and we couldnt believe that there was cinderblocks on it! did u use a magic glue or something?
hey im ally and for school we have to build a popsicle stick bridge that can hold 8 bricks but is as light as possible. My teacher is strict and has been doing the same project for 18 years and never given anyone an A and i want to be the first. Do you have any tips or tricks for me?
thanks a lot!
ally
o and we can only use elmers glue and popsicle sticks
and it has to be at lease a span of 80 cm
WOW thats amazing we are making a bridge for a comopetetion how many popcicle sticks did that take????:s
me and my friend have to build a sturdy bridge made with 50 popscicle stick, glue, 2m of string and a pair of cutters. i wondered if u would have any suggestions to help me build a bridge to sustain 200 pounds with the given material.
if u find anything usefull tell me and maybe i will win the competiot
thanks
p.s when u reply reply on this site
and then i was wondering if you can write me the instructions how to make a bridge like that so i can do a technology project, with what you did i can get an A. thanks can you pease reply back
this bridge is hot, i love this bridge ,it looks like it was hard to make
how did this take, becuz this is pretty cool
this is a pretty cool design… looks like it took alot of effort. great job.
I’m guessing that there is 77645 popcicle sticks in that bridge. I am in school and we’re doing a project on this and me and my friend made an estimate haha
kid the bridge would be a solid brick if it had that many popsicle sicks lol
that bridge is amazalin!!!!! we have to build a bridge in tech and i hope ours is a strong as yours.
that is a cool bridge do u have instructions to make it? Iam doing a science progect and i made one that held 3 concrete blocks and my mom(120lbs).
hey. do you have any “blueprint” designs on that bridge? i’m doing something quite simular and i think it would help me out to find a very good design to work off of. you can send me some tips / designs at my email. You’re bridge is really impressing.
Since I did not build this bridge, I do not have plans to build it. Sorry.
hi my name is cheli i myself am making a bridge out of popsicle sticks and i was searching so i can get a clue of how to do and when i saw this i was realy impresed i thought it was realy cool the first thing i said was “thats awesonme maybe i should build that” i have something to tell u maybe u should enter a school science fair u could praboly get into the finals.
