Trust bridge design

Bridge collapsing

    Building this bridge allowed me to understand where most of the tension and compression on bridges are. Once our bridge collapsed, we understood the focal points of bridge. The reason we my partner and I built the bridge the way we did is because we wanted the bridge to have a strong an stable bridge. We had to think of what would go through the bridge and how heavy it would be. After thinking of, what would go through our bridge, we tried to build the bridge so that it would support whatever would cross it for a certain period of time.
