The type of bridge that I am going to attempt to build is called a Warren Truss bridge. I am going to use regular round toothpicks and glue in this process and that is all. There are many important steps that must be followed in order to build a bridge that can withstand a decent amount of weight without it cracking or braking apart. First of all, what I am going to do is create a basic sketch or blueprint of the bridge that I want to make so I can have a good understanding of how the bridge will be structured. Then after I understand my drawing, I will take my toothpicks on a smooth surface and make a flat deck of toothpicks glued together that can be a few layers thick and have it span approximately 22 centimeters wide and about 25 centimeters long. I will next make sure that the deck is firmly together and let it completely dry so I can go onto the next step. Now that the deck is dried and secure I can now make t
When they dry I can now begin the part where I put the bridge actually together. First, I will get the middle part of the walls and find some way to secure it firmly to the deck. Secondly, I will connect the outer two walls of the bridge also. Now that I have all three of the walls built on, I will then use more toothpicks to connect all of the walls together to form one wall. Then after that is complete I’ll make some minor adjustments as they are needed incase I find some problems with the structure.
he required hole in the center of the bridge that is 1 centimeter in diameter. I must also make sure that there is room for 4 centimeters above and below the bridge deck area.
Furthermore, the deck is complete so now I can begin building up on the bridge. What I will do next is glue the toothpicks together according the drawing of the bridge and make sure I construct two identical walls for both of the sides of the bridge. After that, I set them
