Bridge Design Concept :: essays research papers

Bridge Design Concept          Our twain consists of three levels supported by 1 mettlesome cylinders to support each level. On each level we forget have rows of both three and four cylinders extending across the middle. Each cylinder will be stacked on another, as offset and centered to gain support. Our bridge will be 28 X 2 -7/8. The length of our bridge is probably the biggest and most significant contributor to our outcome. The desk table gap is 14 long, while our bridge length is 28 long. This shows that we would only be testing a minor(ip) portion of our long bridge. It is significant because we have the advantage of having twice the amount of supporters, while we will be only testing a small portion of our bridge. With all of our cylinders we know that this bridge will evenly distribute weight.     Our bridge will span 28 long. Our main supporting system is in the shape of a cylinder. We chose the cylinder becau se it is capable of supporting a large amount of weight. Each cylinder will brushed with an outer coat of Elmers attach to increase the cylinders strength. The bridge will consist of three levels. Each level will be supported by evenly spaced 1 X cylinders. The cylinders on the second level will be offset from the cylinders above and below it. This design will ensure the weight on the bridge will be evenly distributed. The bridge will be incased on all sides with an outer sheet of paper to increase weight distribution.      In our design, we musical note that the geometric shapes and the dimensions we chose will greatly affect the outcome of our bridge. We expect this bridge to hold a great amount of weight because our cylinders will be reinforce and backed up by one another. Since our bridge has stacks and multiple levels, we expect it to be strong. When we stack the weights onto our bridge, the offset cylinders will act like triangles, evenly distributing w eight in a fine pattern.
