The Strongest Bridge Ever (according To Some)

For a class here at Buena Vista University, we were to make bridges out of Balsa Wood and test their strength for efficiency. While building these bridges, a friend came over and had his own idea for a bridge that would hold more weight than my design. This is the making of that bridge. Yes, I know ...

Balsa Wood Bridge Break

Bridges are a great introduction to the engineering design process and structural engineering. After a brief overview of the 3 main types of bridges, the students learn about how bridges work and the two types of stress on the strut of a bridge - tension (pulling stress) and compression (squeezing s...

Balsawood Bridge Success!

In my Engineering class, we built bridges out of our choice of Toothpicks ("cheap"), Balsawood ("middle"), or Popsicle Sticks ("expensive"). We were allowed to use wood glue (cheap) or hot glue (expensive). My partner Sindhu and I built a balsawood bridge with wood glue...
