Bridge breaking

Broken bridge

Our class was challenged to build a bridge that would support the most amount of weight using only balsa wood, paper, and glue. Our bridge broke after holding 32 pounds along one of the bottom center rungs. Compared to rest of the class, ours help up well, however, one way we could have made our bridge stronger would be to reinforce the bridge along the center, where the most force was applied.
