Well, when we were first given the task of “making a bridge” my first idea was to make a Truss bridge. A Truss bridge, is basically a bridge where each beams are connected in a way that forms a triangular units. However, that would not have worked out because when we were given the constraint, the bridge would fall. The reason why the bridge will fall is because a truss bridge need another ground support on the end of the bridge. In light of that, we decided as a group to make an arch bridge. As we did our research, having an arch bridge would be the best way to construct a bridge with just one ground support. As we began to construct our bridge, we came upon a couple problems with our bridge. The first problem was the extending part of the
