Project 1 : Fettuccine Truss Bridge

Truss is a structure built up of three or more members which are normally considered being pinned and hinged at the joints. The following figure shows different types of trusses. Load applied to the truss is transmitted to joint so that each individual members are in either pure tension or compression.

In a group of 6, we required to design and construct a 750mm clear span and maximum wight of 200g bridge with fettuccine. in order to achieve high efficiency bridge, we have done the analysis by evaluating the material strength and structural analysis of the trusses. therefore, we made a report based on the analysis we got during designing and constructing the fettuccine bridge.

From this project, i have learnt :
- Evaluate, explore and improve attributes of construction materials
- Explore and apply understanding of load distribution in a truss
- Able to evaluate and identify tension and compression members in a truss structure
- Explore different arrangement of members in a truss structure
