PRESENTATION OUTLINE
POPSICLE STICK BRIDGES
BY TREVOR PATTON AND JORGE CONTRERAS
THE PROBLEM
WE HAVE TO DESIGN A POPSICLE STICK BRIDGE THAT CAN HOLD UP WEIGHTS AND SPAN 36 INCHES
TYPES OF STRESS
- Compressive stress:strss caused by puching together.
- Tensil stress:stress caused by pulling apart
HOW TO SOLVE TO STRESS
BY DESIGNING DIFFERENS TYPES OF DESIGNS UNTIL ONE WORKS
WHAT TYPE OF BRIDGE DID YOU USE
A TRUSS BRIDGE
HOW MUCH WEIGHTS DID IT HOLD
- It held none
- the bridge was to thin
- it bent
- The bend made the bridge shorter
- it was just a incomplete deck
ADVICE
- Try making a brige that has elstic deformation
- That is not affected by any type of stress
- Stress=broken bridge
200 MORE STICKS TO IMPROVE OR REDESIGN
- we would have made more triangles
- this would have improved it alot
- We would have completed the bridge
- We would also make a better deck
