Engineering 100:Bridge Project Group 6 (Team Bacardi) Jon Honari, Kevin Lam, Otis Chantharangsy, Ivee Ilao Presentation Outline Design Ideas Prototype Bridge Process Testing/Results Prototype Analysis Flaws Improvements Final Bridge Design Testing/results Final Results Graph Analysis Failures Conclusion Design Arch Design Proved to be strongest structure based on our research Base Flat and straight Supports Angle supports Evenly distributed force Prototype Design Prototype Process Arch Supports Road Connections Structural Reinforcements Prototype Process Prototype Analysis Flaws Uneven weight distribution Not supported where bridge met jig Ultimate reason for failure Weak road Sloppy design Unnecessary weight Prototype Flaws Final Design Excess weight was removed Top section was more reinforced Used wood glue instead of hot glue for the majority Made sure weight was distributed evenly Reinforced the legs where the bridge met the jig Added more supports Prototype vs. Final Design Final Design (Completed) Final Design Failure Final Analysis Overall, very good improvement Bridge weighed 0.59 lbs Bridge held 531.89 lbs Performance = Successful With more supports in the correct places we believe the bridge could hold much more weight We conclude… Spending more time on the construction yielded better results About 170% improvement High efficiency ratio Endures a high amount of pressure Lasts under consistent amount of low pressure First Bridge: .56 pounds, held 296.00 lb Final Bridge: .59 pounds, held 531.89 lb * * Prototype Testing/Results  Red: Excess Weight Green: Lack of Support Final Bridge Prototype Final Testing/Results Important joints were overlooked and were not supported correctly *
