Finished Bridge

Testing the Bridge

Testing the Bridge:

When it came to the end goal which was testing the bridge, our bridge was one of the most successful. Our bridge was able to fully withstand 20 bricks without breaking or splintering. Our group had finished the building early so we decided to buy our own paint and make it look aesthetically pleasing. Even though the goal was to create the sturdiest bridge, we decided to make it look good which Dr. Gray had explained was important for bridges in the real world. The bridge that we created wasn't able to go through the shake tables due to the fact that they broke after being strained by prior groups and their bridges. Our bridge was even sturdy to allow 3 people to sit on it before breaking. Overall, the project was successful since we met our goal and we were able to do it effectively using the tools and resources that we had.
