Bridge Lab Activity
My Reflection
My bridge was a very good idea. it had support, structure. and strength to help it from collapsing. i originally wanted to build a bridge that was mainly focused around the ends of the bridge so it wouldnt collapse, but as you can see, my weak point was clearly in the middle. i couldnt have put support in the middle because it wouldn't be considered to be an arch bridge. Looking back at the activity we done, i would have definitly put more support in the middle and criss cross them so it would have more strength. I would also probably change my idea of a arch bridge because you really cant put support on the bottom of an arch bridge. It would have just collapse once again. I would defintly choose a truss bridge next time because it would have many members to support its structure.
