In the Johns Hopkins Engineering Innovation program, we were tasked to build a bridge with spaghetti and epoxy that could hold as much as possible and only weighing up to 250 grams.
Therefore, we had to perform many types of tests for stress and strain for each type of spaghetti. Afterwards, we had to calculate the area each part of the bridge would need to support the load.
As a result, our bridge held up to 45 kilograms!
