Bridge Presentation

Everett and Jackson

Truss design
On bridge designer we made what looked like a quadrangular through Warren
truss but ended up changing the design due to not having enough wood.

Materials we used in our bridge

We used a T square

Paper for the drawing

Basel wood

Rulers

We used wood glue

Pin tacks to hold the wood

We used a drawing board for the bridge

We used a 2x4 piece of wood for the roof and floor

We used a triangle ruler

We used tape as well

 Steps for the bridge
1. We drew out the bridge on a piece of paper
2. We used the bridge designer application to make out design
3. We tested our bridge in the application
4. We started the bridge by building the base of it
5. Then we started cutting the wood into the pieces we needed for our design
6. Glued the wood to their spot it needed to go
7. Made sure the design was even
8. Started the roof
9. Then started the flooring
10. Added the finishing wood to the bridge
What we wish we did better
We wish that we spent more time on the truss design because our truss wasn’t
good and the bridge collapsed fast. We also wished we used our wood more
wisely because we ran out fast and had to change our design.
What was most difficult
The most difficult part of this project was the amount of wood we were given to
build with it wasnt a lot and we had to change our design 2 times
How much our bridge held
Our bridge held 7-8 pounds of sand.
