My truss design: We had to make a truss out of wood. The Object was to have your truss be the strongest in the class. My Partner and I first came up with a design for the strongest truss. our idea was to have 1 piece of wood going through the truss. Then have pieces of wood going through either kind of like an arch. We then painting it after we creating the design and put In the work. The paint makes the truss stronger and the wood connects better to make it stronger. After we were all done my partner and I came in 2nd place in the truss challenge .
8' foot bridge design: The purpose for this project is to make an 8 foot bridge strong enough to hold our whole team. The bridge will be tested at the end to be the strongest. My teams design 1 piece of wood going through the whole bridge. Small arches will be placed in the design to make it much stronger. This project is not completed yet but the bottom of the bridge will be created with wood in the design of straight across to make it strong. When we are finished it will be painted so the would connects stronger.
