Bridge Building

Abertay University posted a video containing a challenge to build a bridge with a span of 75cm  that could hold 250g.

We had to bring in various recyclable materials that we could build the bridges from.

We had to decide between building a compression or tension bridge.

We then planned out our bridge and decided on materials and the bridge type-Arch, Girder, Truss, Suspension, Moveable, Cable- Stayed and Cantilever.

We then formed partners and began the building. We followed our plan to build the bridge and we used our creativity skills. Some bridges worked whilst others did not so we used our initiative to make improvements.
