Week 2 Experiment

Advanced Structural Bridge Experiment


Experiment 1



For experiment 1, we decided to make a design as shown above so that the 'bridge' can hold a huge amount of load when applied. Besides that, it is also quite appealing aesthetic wise.

The outcome is successful as it can withstand a few bag of papers as well as 2 people.


Experiment 2




The design chosen for the 2nd experiment is as shown above because we believe that with that kind of design, the 'bridge' can stay balance even if there is a heavy load applied.



Resulting Video:




The outcome of the experiment is a failure. Even though it didn't collapse, but as more load is added, the design started tilting to one side.


Experiment 3



The design for the paper 'bridge' is similar to that of last week's paper design except this time, instead of a spring, the insides of the paper is rolled paper stuffed in as many as possible, with the hope that it can withstand the heavy load.


Resulting video:





The outcome is quite a success. The paper got a little bit of compression but it is not totally squished.
