By First Timer on October 28, 2008 - Modified October 4, 2016 Tags: first timer, k-nex, reader submitted Hey guys it’s me again, First Timer. I came up with a good way to practice bridge building either before or for the next competition and/or just to keep your bridge building skills good, whether it be science fair or science olympiad. It’s building different bridge designs with K-NEX, Erector Sets, and/or LEGOs. Most of you probably own one or more of the following and it really helps practicing basic truss design By Garrett Boon on July 24, 2007 - Modified October 5, 2016 Tags: paper bridge, pratt truss, reader submitted Built by Bill H. Here is the email Bill sent me: I started making bridges about a year ago and have pictures to share with you. For the first bridge I used a set of plans that I found free on the internet from a guy who was in the army.
The bridge plans were designed to be made 100% from manilla folder paper. The plans were to fold the manilla cardboard into the different post diameters and use them […] By Garrett Boon on November 5, 2005 - Modified August 20, 2016 We had some of our cousins spend the weekend with us. After the initial greetings, Matt asked me, “Can we go finish the bridge?” We had started building a bridge last year, when they came over to visit. Matt had finished one side of the bridge. While I did help him design it, Matt did most of the building. I would do a little bit and say, “This is how you do it,” and Matt would do the rest.

We built a 1/8″ scale model bridge just like the bridges we build for production. We successfully loaded it with 345 pounds with the weight being distributed all the way across the middle.
Do you know of a formula where we can figure out that weight capacity for our full scale bridge? We have contacted 3 different engineers in our area who don’t have access to such information. Thank you for […] By rdcarlton on April 4, 2012 - Modified October 4, 2016 Tags: basswood bridge, reader submitted Basswood model bridge example (built by Mr. Carlton) for students competing in the MSPE competition at MSU April 4th.

We were amongst what appeared to be a lot of other folks that were just as clueless as us about bridge building! This is our first effort, so a win is a win, right? It is made entirely of 1/8″ square balsa. It weighed 0.1 lbs (~45 g) & supported just under 10 lbs. The top chord is […] By Garrett Boon on December 10, 2006 - Modified October 4, 2016
Some friends of mine recently took a road trip to to PA. On the way, they stopped by a famous bridge and took this awesome picture: Click for a closer view This is the New River Bridge in West Virginia. It was the longest single-arch steel span bridge when it was built in 1977. In 2003, however, a longer single arch span bridge was built in Shangai. This photo is simply amazing. I normally don’t host such large images to […] By Garrett Boon on June 13, 2007 - Modified October 4, 2016 Tags: crafts, popsicle sailboat I have always been fascinated by sailboats. I loved to visit my grandparents in Florida, because it meant sailboat rides. This is not the first time I have made a little sailboat. But it is the first popsicle boat I have made. I started out using only the “reject” popsicle sticks that I would not use for my popsicle bridges. This included popsicle sticks that were bent and twisted in all shapes and manners. I am a little surprised that […] By single mom on May 12, 2009 - Modified October 4, 2016
Tags: reader submitted, spaghetti bridge, straw bridge We found that it holds 5lbs so far and potentialy more, considering our first bridge broke with a large ball of string as the weight and our second broke with a coke can. I think our success rate was pretty high By Lobjoit on March 2, 2009 - Modified October 4, 2016 Tags: reader submitted, straw bridge Bridge constructed with drinking straws & spaghetti. Pinned connections between straws with spaghetti. Bridge span across deck = 50cm, supported below at half span.
