Students from Bishop Brossart High School participated in the Balsa Bridge Building contest on March 11, 2013. The competition was held at Northern Kentucky University in the College of Business, Construction Management Department. They came in 13th place out of 65 teams. Not bad for the first time ...
My bridge weighed 116 grams and held up 135 lbs before it broke, that's a ratio of 525:1. - 1st place for this years contest, 2nd in the College's History. - This was a Final Exam for my Structural Engineering class for an easy A. - Dimensions are 24" long, 3.75" wide, 8.5" tall and ...
NCCC Tech Wars 2011 Grand Island High School WNY Balsa Wood Bridge Competition held an UNBELIEVABLE NEW WORLD RECORD 795 lbs before exploding into oblivion! Evan Shaw, Kyle Held, Katy Brady won...
The task was to design a bridge so that it can be used over a 60 cm gap with the best ratio of How much it can hold/Weight of the bridge. The max length could be 75 cm. It took us about 8 hours overall, 4 people and some blisters from the glue gun to do these bridges. Sorry for the Quality of the vi...
My balsa wood bridge design. It held around 24 pounds and was the winner. Feel free to use this design!...
Annual balsa wood bridge breaking competition by the civil engineering technology program students. This year we were allowed to incorporate up to 8' of tension cabling. The span is 12 inches and the maximum height of the structure is 7.5 inches and the maximum width is 15 inches. The students used ...

This was a bridge designed and built completely out of bulsa wood, by myself and 2 other students. Architects can be structure engineers too!...
Mr. Seltzer's Engineering Drawing Class learns about structural engineering and uses the design process sketch, draw, design, build, test, and review how much weight a balsawood bridge will hold...
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 ...
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...
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...
For flying events (Wright Stuff, Flying Bird, Glider, Helicopters) or structural efficiency events (Bridge, Tower, Cantilever). How to prepare your surface, attach balsa, what kind of glue to use. For more information on the Helicopter event, visit...

Like for more videos! :-) The best bridge: A 62.98 gram balsa wood bridge held 26.45 lb (not including the rigging) before tipping on its side. It could have held more weight if the rigging was better placed. The bridge was constructed from a piece of Balsa Wood with 144 square inches of area by 3/3...
This was taken for Project Lead The Way Principles of Engineering at Maine East High School. The rules were modeled after the national bridge building contests. The entire project was really entertaining because of so much carnage during testing. Props to Mr. Schultz (our teacher) for getting in on ...
This is a bridge that Michael and I built and tested in our high school engineering class. Overall it had a mass of 85 grams (0.19 lbs) and held 202 lbs. We used wood glue to connect the pieces of balsa wood. Restrictions: - No more than two pieces of balsa wood could be laminated together with wood...
AP Physics Project: Building Bridge out of Balsa Wood...
This is my Year 12 Engineering Class Balswood Bridges. The project requirements restricted our length (span) to 600mm and the width to be 50mm +. The best bridge in the class was the arch bridge design which weighed 128grams and held 46kg giving it a strength to weight ratio of 359.38:1. Hope you en...
This bridge was constructed for a competitive physics final. the bridge had to span four feet and allow for three mass hangers to hang from the bottom...
The annual Balsa Wood Bridge Bust held at Markville Secondary School (Markham, Ontario, Canada), featuring the 1993 Grade 10 shop class taught by Robert Holland. Also includes highlights of 1992 and 1990 classes. The goal of this design project is to build a small bridge made entirely of balsa wood ...
