Constructing Environments Week 6 Journal - Structural Concepts Part 2

Group - 2 Materials: 1200 x 3.9 x 90 mm Ply Wood 1200 x 42 x 18 mm Pine
Figure 2 - Structure deflected considerable once load was applied to an extent greater that than the load strength of the material
Parameters - Span with distance of 1000 mm and so bridge must reach across this and carry a load The use of ply wood on the upper and lower horizontal planes of the structure allowed for a stronger system to be generated. This was due to the fact that, applying the ply wood helps the structure to resist the forces of torsion and tension as they act in the opposite.

Figure 3 - Structure was able to withstand the weight of 320kg applied vertically from above the structure.
Figure 1 - Structural idea for Span
This Structure uses the larger, stronger pieces of pine to produce the primary structure of the span. This is able to resist a large load applied to the span. The cross beams seen above in figure 1 provide additional support to the structure and allow it to withstand further loads applied.

Due to Absence of members of the group, a section of the site was considered and prepared for construction. I beams form the vertical supports at the ground which can be seen in figure 5 on the left. The lateral structures are then connected to the existing building which can be seen in the zoom of the connection in figure 8.
