1.0 INTRODUCTION
“Introduction of our understanding and briefs”
1.1 OBJECTIVE
	 The aim of this project is to develop a deeper understanding towards
the tensile and compressive strength of construction materials. Students are
required to design a perfect truss bridge with a high level of aesthetic value
and minimal construction materials. The bridge has to be of a 750mm clear
span, not exceeding the maximum weight of 200g. This report is a compilation
of our undertanding and analysis based on precedent studies conducted, con-
struction materials and the deisgn of our truss bridge.
1.2 INTRODUCTION OF TENSION
	 Tension describes the pulling force exerted by each end of any one-
dimensional continuous object, be it a string, rope, cable or wire. The tensile
force is focused along the length of an object and pulls uniformly on opposite
ends of it.
1.3 INTRODUCTION OF COMPRESSION
	 Compressive force (or “compression strength”) refers to the capacity of
a material in resistingpushing forces that are focussed axially. Compressive
force can also be defined as the capacity of a structure to withstand loads
tending to reduce its size.

2.0 PRECEDENT STUDY
“Knowledge and understanding to aid us in designing our fettuccini bridge”
Officially opened in 1890, the Forth Road Bridge occupies a beautiful
location in the Firth of Forth on the East coast of Scotland, connecting Fife
and the North of Scotland with capital city Edinburgh and the South. The
bridge is composed of two railway lines cross the Forth Bridge, supported
47.8 meters above high water, linking much of Northern Scotland with
Edinburgh and England to the South. The lines of track sit on a ‘bridge within
a bridge,’ an internal viaduct supported within the enormous cantilever towers
and arms which is often overlooked.Construction techniques as well as design
improvements can be administered due to ongoing advances in design and
construction, the development of materials and reduction of cost in what is
considered a necessity in a modern day bridge.
2.1 FORTH ROAD BRIDGE
Image 2

Scotland
IMAGE 2
The bridge spans up to a total of 2460 meters. It is composed of two
approach viaducts, six cantilever arms supported by three towers, with two
central connecting spans. Abutments (supports the lateral pressure of an arch
or span) are found at the end of each of the two outer-most cantilevers. Two
railway lines sit on an internal viaduct supported within the cantilevered
towers; these carried 47.8 meters above high water.
2.2 ELEMENTS OF THE BRIDGE
	 Four of the six cantilever arms are fixed. These are held strongly in
position by the two granite abutments at the ends of each approach viaduct.
Two ‘suspended spans’, over one hundred and five meters long link the two
outer cantilever towers with the central one. In a nutshell, the superstructure
for this bridge functions as a standard truss – with specific members carrying
out either tension or compressive forces.
	 The centre of the bridge consists of three main piers, with two cantilever
arms built out from each pier. Two viaducts consisting of a pair of lattice
girders each spanning over fifty-one meters lead up to the centre, which is
ultimately supported over forty meters above high-water level on masonry
piers.

IN COMPARISON
	 The two men sat on chairs with outstretched arms represent the main
cantilever towers, in between them is a central span connecting the two.
Anchorage for the cantilevers is provided by the bricks at either side. As load
is applied to the central span (in this case by a third man) the outside men’s
arms come into tension, and the sticks they’re holding and the men’s bodies
experience compressive forces. In reality the bridge has three cantilever
towers, but the principle can be applied equally to this third tower. All
compression members (struts) in this bridge are tubular sections made up of
many small steel plates riveted together, while tension is carried in lattice truss
members. Wind bracing is provided by further lattice trusses spanning
between the main superstructure members.

The Francis Scott Bridge, also known as Outer Harbour Bridge or Key
Bridge is a continuous truss bridge spanning over the Patapsco River in
Baltimore, Maryland, The United States of America. This is the longest bridge
(17540 metres) in Baltimore and the third longest span (366 metres) of any
continuous truss in the world. Upon completion, the bridge was officially
opened in March 1977 and estimated to carry 11.5 m`illion vehicles annually.
The technique used in the construction of this bridge can be identified as the
Baltimore truss.
2.3 FRANCIS SCOTT BRIDGE
	 The Baltimore truss is a subclass of the Pratt truss. It is designed to
prevent buckling in the compression members and also control deflection by
having additional bracing in the lower section of the truss. Due to the rigid and
strong design of this truss, it is mainly used for train bridges.
Image 5

Franciss Scott
Bridge
The construction of this bridge is complicated in which the order of this
bridge is meticulously calculated. It is achieved by having consistent spacing
of the trusses in the middle section of the bridge together with equal spacing
of the suspended cables in the arch section.
	 Due to the long span of the arch section of the bridge, a suspended,
continuous truss design is used for this span. The suspended cables linking
between the truss and the deck will prevent the deck from any construction
failures due to tensile and compressive forces when there is presence of load
acting on this section. The trusses on top of the deck are in the form of an
arch because of its stronger structural property than the beam and column
form. In addition, the arch adds for aesthetic value to the design. Apart from
that, the arches will transfer loads back into the bearings on the piers then
into the foundation. Steel sections incorporated between front truss and the
back trusses are to provide stability and torsion resistant to the structure.

The bridge’s superstructure involved few construction phases. The first
phase involved building all the span of the bridge across the top of the piers
built in the substructure. A total of eleven piers are constructed in reinforced
concrete prior to provide support to the bridge in which the decks are placed.
Later on, they are further supported and strengthen by the continuous truss.

truss and deck

The main steel trusses are prefabricated in four major parts, which
the arch truss would be constructed in two parts, and the regular trusses on
the either side of the arch truss. These separated components made up of
I-beams are then transported to the site by heavy lift floating whereby they are
connected together through welding and girder plates with the aid of crags
on ships to hoist the parts 56.4 metres above the decks (highest point of the
span to the deck under) of the bridge.

3.0 MATERIAL ANALYSIS
“Before experiment started, analysing materials are the main concern”
3.1 TYPE OF FETTUCCINE ANALYSIS
	 As stated in the brief, fettuccine is the only material used for the model.
With this, the tensile and compressive strength of different brands of fettuc-
cine were studied and tested. The most suitable one to be used for our model
was determine.
Methods: -
i.	 Strips of fettuccine were laid on a flat surface
ii.	 Load was placed to test the rate of buckling
iii.	 Time taken until failure was measured in order to determine the strength
& flexibility of the fettuccine
iv.	 Steps were repeated with a different brand
Results: -
i. San Remo
(chosen fettuccine)
ii. Agnesi
iii. Barilla
- carried most weight
- medium flexibility
- medium rough surface
-carried medium weight
-flexible
-lightweight and thin fetuccini
- carried less weight
-very flexible
-lightest and thinnest fetuccini

3.3 STRENGTH OF MATERIAL ANALYSIS
	 As fettuccini is the only material used for the model, its quality and
strength is required to be studied and thoroughly tested before making the
model. We aim to:
i)	 Achieve a high level of aesthetic value
ii)	 Use minimal construction material to achieve high efficiency.
2.	 The table (Table 1) below shows the strength of each fettuccine analysed
by applying point pressure on the middle. Different numbers, orientation and
arrangements of fettuccine were used to form the members.

IMAGE 20 The loads (and reactions) bend the fettuccine and try to shear through it.
3.	 The strength of one fettucine appears to be lower when faced horizontally than
when it is faced vertically from 1 stick to 4 sticks. However, after 5 sticks, results turned
out to be the opposite. In conclusion, the greater the area exposed relative to its volume,
the weaker the fettuccine member is in resisting strains and stresses (The easier it is for
the member to break apart)
DIRECTION OF FORCES DIRECTION OF FORCES
4.	 From the result, we decided to use fettuccine members of 1 to 4 sticks with vertical
facing on the truss member that required less strength.

TESTING ON SINGLE MEMBER
Strength: Very strong
This design is most preferable in terms of efficiency and
workmanship
Strength: Not so strong
This is an effective design with minimal human error

4.0 BRIDGE ANALYSIS
“Studying different kind of bridges giving answer to the conclusion”
Completed fettuccine models were put to a test. The main aim of this test is to allow
the bridge to withstand the greatest load but a minimum load was set initially. This is used to
identify the model with the greatest potential to be constructed for the final bridge. The
series of test shows the ups and downs on the bridges constructed. Through each test,
considerations were made and adapted in the new bridge and consecutively. A total of
seven tests were conducted prior to making the final bridge.
4.1 MISSION
4.1.1 BRIDGE TESTING ONE
Details of the Bridge:
Height and width = 750mm (width)
Length (top chord) = 600mm
Length (bottom chord) = 750mm
Weight of this bridge = 125g
Maximum load = 2350g
Efficiency = (2.350kg)^2 / 0.125kg = 44.18
ANALYSIS
The bridge did not bend or twist as weight is gradually added.
Nevertheless, only the hook support broke when load reached at 2350g.
The bridge holds it form and position.
CONSIDERATION: -
improve on the hook support

4.1.2 BRIDGE TESTING TWO
Details of the Bridge:
Height and width = 750mm (width)
Length (top chord) = 600mm
Length (bottom chord) = 750mm
Weight of this bridge = 125g
Maximum load = 2430 g
Efficiency = (2.430kg)^2 / 0.125kg = 47.24
ANALYSIS
After the failure of the previous hook support, we improvised and came up
with a different hook support design. A cross-bracing support was added.
This support is able to withstand up to 2.4kg until the hook support broke.
The failure of this bridge is only at the hook support. Meanwhile, the bridge
retained its form and did not collapse.
CONSIDERATION: -
improve on the hook support

Length (top chord) = 600mm
Length (bottom chord) = 750mm
Weight of this bridge = 130g
Maximum load = 8100g
Efficiency = (8.100kg)^2 / 0.130kg = 504.69
ANALYSIS
The hook support was rectified and an I-beam replaces the
horizontal support. The bridge remains stable has load is gradually added.
The hook support did not break this time but however, the bottom
chord snapped causing the whole bridge to collapse.
CONSIDERATION: -
Add support on the top & bottom chord

4.1.4 BRIDGE TESTING FOUR
Details of the Bridge:
Height and width = 750mm (width)
Length (top chord) = 600mm
Length (bottom chord) = 750mm
Weight of this bridge = 130g
Maximum load = 700 g
Efficiency = (0.700kg)^2 / 0.130kg = 3.77
ANALYSIS
This bridge was an exact replicate of the previous bridge but blown
up to a bigger scale to fit the requirements of a 750mm clear span. All
members remain the same thickness and also the use of I beams as the hook
support.The failure of this bridge was identified as workmanship effort. The
bridge twisted as load is gradually added up to the point the sides
broke causing the whole bridge to collapse. This is due to the bottom
chord not being straight when constructing.
CONSIDERATION: -
- Improve workmanship
- Ensure bottom chord is straight and sits balanced
on the table.

ANALYSIS
All members remain the same thickness and use of I beams as the
hook support. This bridge failed as the bottom chord snapped.
However, the hook support did not break and retain its form.
CONSIDERATION: -
Strengthen the bottom chord

Length (top chord) = 881mm
Length (bottom chord) = 850mm
Weight of this bridge = 273g
Maximum load = 2825 units
Efficiency = (2.825kg)^2 / 0.273kg = 29.23
ANALYSIS
After doing the precedent studies, we decided to try out another bridge
with a different design. This bridge is steady and strong. However, the failure of
this bridge happens on the hook support which is a cross-braced design. Upon
adding load up to 2.8kg, the hook support snaps. However the members of
bridge remained intact. The bridge remained its form.
CONSIDERATION: -
Straigthen its hook support.

Details of the Bridge:
Height and width = 110mm from highest point to bottom (height) 775 (width)
Length (top chord) = 881mm
Length (bottom chord) = 850mm
Weight of this bridge = 280g
Maximum load = 5315g
Efficiency = (5.315kg)^2 / 0.280kg = 100.89
ANALYSIS
The bridge has same design as the previous bridge. However, the only
difference is the hook support. The conclusion was drawn based on the
previous tests that a hook support made from multiple layers of fetuccini
is not as strong as a hook support composed of I beams. In this test,
the bridge withstand up to 5.3kg and “crack” sound can be heard.
The failure of this bridge happens when one of the chord could not
take the load causing the whole bridge to collapse. However,
the hook support did not deform.
CONSIDERATION: -
Strengthen the supports on the side as it fails to hold
up the bridge.

5.0 FINAL MODEL TESTING
“The highlight of this assignment”
5.1 FINAL DESIGN OF OUR FETTUCCINE BRIDGE
Details of the Bridge:
Height and width = 83mm(height)
52mm (width)
Length (top chord) = 753mm
Length (bottom chord) = 866.75mm
Weight of this bridge = 203g
Maximum load = 3.2kg
ANALYSIS
Efficiency = (max load)2/ Weight of bridge = 10.24/0.203 = 50.44% efficient.
Although many considerations were taken into the final bridge design, the total
weight of the bridge once completed was heavier than previous models, and we
feared a lower efficiency than 50%. However, during testing, we realised the final
bridge design was a rigid and strong one and could have taken more load if
workmanship had been precise and accurate, unfortunately, with fettuccini sticks
we cannot guarantee that. It was one part of the bottom chord that snapped away
and we strongly believe it was due to the inconsistency in the overlapping
method of fettuccini pieces making up the chords.
CONSIDERATION
If we were to carry out a second final test, we would shorten the total length of the chord
to reduce some weight and add rigidity. We would also remove all the top (single layer)
and bottom (double layer) horizontal connecting members and replace them with a single
layer x-cross bracing from one façade to another. We believe this would drop down the
weight of our bridge by at least 30-40g, and the max load would probably be a little bit
less, but our goal is obtaining best efficiency, therefore we would expect a higher
efficiency value than 50%.

AIM
	 We need to identify 6 Case Study from the activity that our lecturers provided to help on
our understanding about truss analysis. As every case has the same load applied on it, we found out that
the Fx Fy and Momentum towards every cases has the same calculation also.
The calculations: -
∑Fx = 0
20 + 5- + 80 + Ra + RJx = 0
∑Fx = 0
150 + Rx+RJx= 0
-100+15-60-50-RJy= 0
(-RJyx 3.5) – 50(3.5) -80 (3.5) +60(6) -152(2) -20(1) + 50(8) + 100(2) = 0
RJx (3.5) = 185
RJx=52.857
150+ Ra +52.587 = 0
Ra=-202.827
To determine wether its a perfect truss: -
2J = m+3
1. 2J = 2 (a)
= 18
2. m + 3 = 15 + 3
= 18
thus,
It is a perfect truss.

COMPRESSION AND TENSION ANALYSIS
Analyzing all the cases in general, it is visible which is the most efficient amongst the 6.
Firstly, let us imagine all these cases are acting out simultaneously. Secondly, an important
point to note is that the more force there is on an individual member, the more stress it is
undertaking, hence that member will break more easily.
For example, looking at case 2, the vertical column takes the most force of 210KN and will
fail first. And in this case, is the least efficient.
In case 3, the vertical column that transfers 150KN would collapse followed by the top
member that transfers 202.86KN as the force is not distributed evenly to the nearby
members.
Case 4 and 5 have two end vertical members transferring zero load, hence making those
members inactive and useless in this system. However case 4 would collapse before case 5
because the second column from the left holds more weight than the 5th case, making case
5 truss system more efficient than case 4 due to the weight distribution.
In case 6, the two top horizontal members will collapse first as they are transferring the most
load. Case 6 is of moderate efficiency compared to case 4 and 5. However, case 1 is the
most efficient as there is an obvious better distribution of load.

  • 6. 1.0 INTRODUCTION “Introduction of our understanding and briefs”
  • 7. 1.1 OBJECTIVE The aim of this project is to develop a deeper understanding towards the tensile and compressive strength of construction materials. Students are required to design a perfect truss bridge with a high level of aesthetic value and minimal construction materials. The bridge has to be of a 750mm clear span, not exceeding the maximum weight of 200g. This report is a compilation of our undertanding and analysis based on precedent studies conducted, con- struction materials and the deisgn of our truss bridge. 1.2 INTRODUCTION OF TENSION Tension describes the pulling force exerted by each end of any one- dimensional continuous object, be it a string, rope, cable or wire. The tensile force is focused along the length of an object and pulls uniformly on opposite ends of it. 1.3 INTRODUCTION OF COMPRESSION Compressive force (or “compression strength”) refers to the capacity of a material in resistingpushing forces that are focussed axially. Compressive force can also be defined as the capacity of a structure to withstand loads tending to reduce its size.

  • 9. Officially opened in 1890, the Forth Road Bridge occupies a beautiful location in the Firth of Forth on the East coast of Scotland, connecting Fife and the North of Scotland with capital city Edinburgh and the South. The bridge is composed of two railway lines cross the Forth Bridge, supported 47.8 meters above high water, linking much of Northern Scotland with Edinburgh and England to the South. The lines of track sit on a ‘bridge within a bridge,’ an internal viaduct supported within the enormous cantilever towers and arms which is often overlooked.Construction techniques as well as design improvements can be administered due to ongoing advances in design and construction, the development of materials and reduction of cost in what is considered a necessity in a modern day bridge. 2.1 FORTH ROAD BRIDGE Image 2 Forth Road Bridge on the east coast of Scotland IMAGE 2
  • 10. The bridge spans up to a total of 2460 meters. It is composed of two approach viaducts, six cantilever arms supported by three towers, with two central connecting spans. Abutments (supports the lateral pressure of an arch or span) are found at the end of each of the two outer-most cantilevers. Two railway lines sit on an internal viaduct supported within the cantilevered towers; these carried 47.8 meters above high water. 2.2 ELEMENTS OF THE BRIDGE Four of the six cantilever arms are fixed. These are held strongly in position by the two granite abutments at the ends of each approach viaduct. Two ‘suspended spans’, over one hundred and five meters long link the two outer cantilever towers with the central one. In a nutshell, the superstructure for this bridge functions as a standard truss – with specific members carrying out either tension or compressive forces. The centre of the bridge consists of three main piers, with two cantilever arms built out from each pier. Two viaducts consisting of a pair of lattice girders each spanning over fifty-one meters lead up to the centre, which is ultimately supported over forty meters above high-water level on masonry piers. Image 3 Two men represent main cantilever tower
  • 11. IN COMPARISON The two men sat on chairs with outstretched arms represent the main cantilever towers, in between them is a central span connecting the two. Anchorage for the cantilevers is provided by the bricks at either side. As load is applied to the central span (in this case by a third man) the outside men’s arms come into tension, and the sticks they’re holding and the men’s bodies experience compressive forces. In reality the bridge has three cantilever towers, but the principle can be applied equally to this third tower. All compression members (struts) in this bridge are tubular sections made up of many small steel plates riveted together, while tension is carried in lattice truss members. Wind bracing is provided by further lattice trusses spanning between the main superstructure members. Image 4 Elevation drawing of Forth Road Bridge
  • 12. The Francis Scott Bridge, also known as Outer Harbour Bridge or Key Bridge is a continuous truss bridge spanning over the Patapsco River in Baltimore, Maryland, The United States of America. This is the longest bridge (17540 metres) in Baltimore and the third longest span (366 metres) of any continuous truss in the world. Upon completion, the bridge was officially opened in March 1977 and estimated to carry 11.5 m`illion vehicles annually. The technique used in the construction of this bridge can be identified as the Baltimore truss. 2.3 FRANCIS SCOTT BRIDGE The Baltimore truss is a subclass of the Pratt truss. It is designed to prevent buckling in the compression members and also control deflection by having additional bracing in the lower section of the truss. Due to the rigid and strong design of this truss, it is mainly used for train bridges. Image 5 Axono Angle of Franciss Scott Bridge
  • 13. The construction of this bridge is complicated in which the order of this bridge is meticulously calculated. It is achieved by having consistent spacing of the trusses in the middle section of the bridge together with equal spacing of the suspended cables in the arch section. Due to the long span of the arch section of the bridge, a suspended, continuous truss design is used for this span. The suspended cables linking between the truss and the deck will prevent the deck from any construction failures due to tensile and compressive forces when there is presence of load acting on this section. The trusses on top of the deck are in the form of an arch because of its stronger structural property than the beam and column form. In addition, the arch adds for aesthetic value to the design. Apart from that, the arches will transfer loads back into the bearings on the piers then into the foundation. Steel sections incorporated between front truss and the back trusses are to provide stability and torsion resistant to the structure.

  • 14. The bridge’s superstructure involved few construction phases. The first phase involved building all the span of the bridge across the top of the piers built in the substructure. A total of eleven piers are constructed in reinforced concrete prior to provide support to the bridge in which the decks are placed. Later on, they are further supported and strengthen by the continuous truss. Image 8 Cables linking the truss and deck together.
  • 15. The main steel trusses are prefabricated in four major parts, which the arch truss would be constructed in two parts, and the regular trusses on the either side of the arch truss. These separated components made up of I-beams are then transported to the site by heavy lift floating whereby they are connected together through welding and girder plates with the aid of crags on ships to hoist the parts 56.4 metres above the decks (highest point of the span to the deck under) of the bridge.

  • 17. 3.1 TYPE OF FETTUCCINE ANALYSIS As stated in the brief, fettuccine is the only material used for the model. With this, the tensile and compressive strength of different brands of fettuc- cine were studied and tested. The most suitable one to be used for our model was determine. Methods: - i. Strips of fettuccine were laid on a flat surface ii. Load was placed to test the rate of buckling iii. Time taken until failure was measured in order to determine the strength & flexibility of the fettuccine iv. Steps were repeated with a different brand Results: - i. San Remo (chosen fettuccine) ii. Agnesi iii. Barilla - carried most weight - medium flexibility - medium rough surface -carried medium weight -flexible -lightweight and thin fetuccini - carried less weight -very flexible -lightest and thinnest fetuccini Image 10 San Remo Fettuccine (left) Image 11 Agnesi Fettuccine (middle) Image 12 Barilla (right)

  • 20. 3.3 STRENGTH OF MATERIAL ANALYSIS As fettuccini is the only material used for the model, its quality and strength is required to be studied and thoroughly tested before making the model. We aim to: i) Achieve a high level of aesthetic value ii) Use minimal construction material to achieve high efficiency. 2. The table (Table 1) below shows the strength of each fettuccine analysed by applying point pressure on the middle. Different numbers, orientation and arrangements of fettuccine were used to form the members. Clear Span (cm) Length Of Fettuccine (cm) Perpendicular Distance Weight Sustained (Horizontal Facing) Weight Sustained (Horizontal Facing) 20 20 20 20 20 26 26 26 26 26 1 2 3 4 5 2 3 4 5 6.8 2.7 3.7 4.8 5.8 6 TABLE 1 Strength of each fettuccine analysed by applying point pressure on the middle IMAGE 20 The loads (and reactions) bend the fettuccine and try to shear through it. 3. The strength of one fettucine appears to be lower when faced horizontally than when it is faced vertically from 1 stick to 4 sticks. However, after 5 sticks, results turned out to be the opposite. In conclusion, the greater the area exposed relative to its volume, the weaker the fettuccine member is in resisting strains and stresses (The easier it is for the member to break apart)
  • 21. DIRECTION OF FORCES DIRECTION OF FORCES 4. From the result, we decided to use fettuccine members of 1 to 4 sticks with vertical facing on the truss member that required less strength. IMAGE 21 When the fettuccine is loaded by forces, stress and strains are created throughout the interior of the beam. TESTING ON SINGLE MEMBER Strength: Very strong This design is most preferable in terms of efficiency and workmanship Strength: Not so strong This is an effective design with minimal human error IMAGE 22 I-Beam IMAGE 23 Layerrings
  • 22. 4.0 BRIDGE ANALYSIS “Studying different kind of bridges giving answer to the conclusion”
  • 23. Completed fettuccine models were put to a test. The main aim of this test is to allow the bridge to withstand the greatest load but a minimum load was set initially. This is used to identify the model with the greatest potential to be constructed for the final bridge. The series of test shows the ups and downs on the bridges constructed. Through each test, considerations were made and adapted in the new bridge and consecutively. A total of seven tests were conducted prior to making the final bridge. 4.1 MISSION
  • 24. 4.1.1 BRIDGE TESTING ONE Details of the Bridge: Height and width = 750mm (width) Length (top chord) = 600mm Length (bottom chord) = 750mm Weight of this bridge = 125g Maximum load = 2350g Efficiency = (2.350kg)^2 / 0.125kg = 44.18 ANALYSIS The bridge did not bend or twist as weight is gradually added. Nevertheless, only the hook support broke when load reached at 2350g. The bridge holds it form and position. CONSIDERATION: - improve on the hook support

A cross-bracing support was added. This support is able to withstand up to 2.4kg until the hook support broke. The failure of this bridge is only at the hook support. Meanwhile, the bridge retained its form and did not collapse. CONSIDERATION: - improve on the hook support

The bridge remains stable has load is gradually added. The hook support did not break this time but however, the bottom chord snapped causing the whole bridge to collapse. CONSIDERATION: - Add support on the top & bottom chord

All members remain the same thickness and also the use of I beams as the hook support.The failure of this bridge was identified as workmanship effort. The bridge twisted as load is gradually added up to the point the sides broke causing the whole bridge to collapse. This is due to the bottom chord not being straight when constructing. CONSIDERATION: - - Improve workmanship - Ensure bottom chord is straight and sits balanced on the table.

This bridge is steady and strong. However, the failure of this bridge happens on the hook support which is a cross-braced design. Upon adding load up to 2.8kg, the hook support snaps. However the members of bridge remained intact. The bridge remained its form. CONSIDERATION: - Straigthen its hook support.

However, the only difference is the hook support. The conclusion was drawn based on the previous tests that a hook support made from multiple layers of fetuccini is not as strong as a hook support composed of I beams. In this test, the bridge withstand up to 5.3kg and “crack” sound can be heard. The failure of this bridge happens when one of the chord could not take the load causing the whole bridge to collapse. However, the hook support did not deform. CONSIDERATION: - Strengthen the supports on the side as it fails to hold up the bridge.

  • 38. 5.0 FINAL MODEL TESTING “The highlight of this assignment”
  • 39. 5.1 FINAL DESIGN OF OUR FETTUCCINE BRIDGE Details of the Bridge: Height and width = 83mm(height) 52mm (width) Length (top chord) = 753mm Length (bottom chord) = 866.75mm Weight of this bridge = 203g Maximum load = 3.2kg ANALYSIS Efficiency = (max load)2/ Weight of bridge = 10.24/0.203 = 50.44% efficient. Although many considerations were taken into the final bridge design, the total weight of the bridge once completed was heavier than previous models, and we feared a lower efficiency than 50%. However, during testing, we realised the final bridge design was a rigid and strong one and could have taken more load if workmanship had been precise and accurate, unfortunately, with fettuccini sticks we cannot guarantee that. It was one part of the bottom chord that snapped away and we strongly believe it was due to the inconsistency in the overlapping method of fettuccini pieces making up the chords. CONSIDERATION If we were to carry out a second final test, we would shorten the total length of the chord to reduce some weight and add rigidity. We would also remove all the top (single layer) and bottom (double layer) horizontal connecting members and replace them with a single layer x-cross bracing from one façade to another. We believe this would drop down the weight of our bridge by at least 30-40g, and the max load would probably be a little bit less, but our goal is obtaining best efficiency, therefore we would expect a higher efficiency value than 50%.

  • 77. COMPRESSION AND TENSION ANALYSIS Analyzing all the cases in general, it is visible which is the most efficient amongst the 6. Firstly, let us imagine all these cases are acting out simultaneously. Secondly, an important point to note is that the more force there is on an individual member, the more stress it is undertaking, hence that member will break more easily. For example, looking at case 2, the vertical column takes the most force of 210KN and will fail first. And in this case, is the least efficient. In case 3, the vertical column that transfers 150KN would collapse followed by the top member that transfers 202.86KN as the force is not distributed evenly to the nearby members. Case 4 and 5 have two end vertical members transferring zero load, hence making those members inactive and useless in this system. However case 4 would collapse before case 5 because the second column from the left holds more weight than the 5th case, making case 5 truss system more efficient than case 4 due to the weight distribution. In case 6, the two top horizontal members will collapse first as they are transferring the most load. Case 6 is of moderate efficiency compared to case 4 and 5. However, case 1 is the most efficient as there is an obvious better distribution of load.
