For Design and Environmental Analysis studio I, we were charged with designing and constructing a bridge of basswood sticks and paper, to support a 3500g brick while weighing less than 40g.
Basswood and paper bridges designed and built for a class project. Finite element analysis was used to optimize the structures, leading to the lightest bridges in class history.
