Spaghetti Bridges

Today for Inquiry we tested how strong our bridges were and it came up pretty well. Alex, Fraidon, Joseph and I worked collaboratively to make our bridge strong but unfortunately, our bridge only held 5 bricks and broke. The type of bridge that we decided to use is the truss bridge because triangle shaped, truss bridges are really strong it holds tension and load, we used triangle shapes because it will save us lots of spaghetti to use for the deck. Materials that we used: Tape, Spaghetti, Rubber Bands and lastly String, putting the tape is best way because tape can hold lots of load and can resist tension. The Span of our bridge is 26.5 cm which is good, it is not too big so it doesn't waste spaghetti and we used the left over spaghetti to make the deck.

Why Do People Build Bridges?

Why Do People Build Bridges?

During the 20th century, we see many bridges that are under construction.
There are different reasons why people build bridges, and there are also different
types of bridges. There are lots of famous bridges all around the world, like
brooklyn bridge, Golden Gate Bridge and Auckland Harbour bridge.

There are lots of reasons why people build bridges and one of them is to make
the transport easier and safer for the people that live across the river.
As I said earlier there are many reasons why people build bridges: You don’t
need to use a punt just to cross the river, you can cross the river faster and safer.
Some of the bridges is made so cars can go through and boats can go under the
bridge. Also some bridges is not in the water some of them use to go above the
railway.

There are lots of use of bridges and one of them is to go above the railways.
It is much safer than making a crossing for trains and cars. Using bridge is
much faster, instead of going around, you can just put a bridge so you don’t have
to travel for a long time. Bridges above the railway has a tunnel at the bottom of
it so the train can go through it is much safer and faster for the vehicles to go
above the railway.

Using a punt is like trying to put a yarn in a needle. It is really hard and there
is a chance that you might fall over and drowned. Sometimes punts are not
available, if its broken and also you need permission to fix it because it is
from the government. Using bridge is much safer and convenient than using a punt
or a boat to go across the river. If there were no bridge it is impossible to go across
the river with your car or vehicle.

We see a lots bridges that are under construction. There are different reasons
why people build bridges.  In USA there is one of the famous bridge and it is the
Golden Gate Bridge, it is a suspension bridge and it is made to hold the loads
of cars and other vehicles.
