In a group of 6, we need to design and construct a fettuccine bridge of 350mm clear span and maximum weight of 80g. These requirements are to be met, or else it may result in reduction of grade. The bridge will be then tested to fail. Other than aesthetic value, the design of the bridge must be of high efficiency, i.e. using the least material to sustain the higher load.
LEARNING OUTCOME:
- Able to evaluate, explore and improve attributes of construction materials
- Explore and apply understanding of load distribution in a truss
- Able to evaluate and identify tension and compression members in a truss structure
- Explore different arrangement of members in a truss structure
REPORT
REFLECTION:
Through this project, i learn about how to make a proper analysis to building material and the connection between them. Besides, i am able to understand the calculation of load distribution in a truss. By identify the tension and compression of truss members, we know how to arrange it in a proper and correct way. Overall, this project help us understand the load distribution and hep in our future work field.
