Load tracing and calculating maximum moment in our beam cross section at an applied load of 100lbs, led us to discover that our bending stress in the beam was much more than the allowable bending stress of 1000 psi for balsa wood. We thus, performed our calculations in reverse to find the max. required moment and required load distribution that can sustain the allowable bending stress of 1000psi. Based on our calculations, both ¼” x ½” cross section beams of 4” length each, should break at an applied load of 83.2 lbs.

Employing the design concept of a Baltimore Truss a subclass of Pratt Truss, we used vertical and diagonal members that slope down towards the center. The truss system was developed to provide necessary reaction forces to sustain distributed loads over the beams as described in following calculations. We further analyzed two truss members to study how the force will be distributed through the truss system in tension and compression.

Amal Bogoreh Surabhi Maheshwari Ailina Mamazhanova Chris McCarthy Kailey O’Connor Baltimore-Ish Bridge Structures 1 4015/6015 | Fall 2021 Final Report: Aside from joint ruptures, which can be easily attributed to the poor strength of wood glue on end grain connections, our primary structural failure occurred in the “V” truss members in the center. Our calculations seemed to indicate the top members capping the “V”’s would have gone first, due to the extreme moment forces in the middle of these members. Second to that there was also discussion surrounding the bottom spanning members due to the forces being channeled from the “V”. Our calculations seemed to indicate that the comparative thickness of these smaller, 0.25” square members would not be an issue. The square cross section failed in compression at 116# loaded, which performed better than the anticipated 83. The major discrepancy between our hypothesis and the results was the truss members failing rather than the beams.

POTENTIAL PAVILLION TYPOLOGY (Rejected for its trimmed surface)
BASE: 4 lines arrayed. Each curve divided, every other curve divided into one fewer units than the prior. Different sized spheres generated on alternating line sets Roughly 1.45:1::A:B ratio.
CONSTRUCT JOINTS: Two tangent arcs constructed between sphere sets, third tangent arc provides enough points to construct sweep2 rails and section
CONSTRUCT VOIDS/PORTALS: two cylinder sets developed, for A and B sets on origin axis. A cylinders have a radius of (A sphere radius)-(B sphere radius) B cylinders are 2/3(B sphere radius)
Christopher McCarthy
SPLIT, SORT, JOIN SELECTED GEOMETRY: Swept surfaces and cylinders used to split base spheres, resulting base spheres and swept surfaces are joined, The result is then split by a plane constructed at the middle z of a bounding box.
