Manila Folder Bridge Design

The first time we tried the Manila Folder Bridge challenge, we were not very sure about how to construct a sturdy, durable bridge. After learning about truss forces, however, we had a better idea on how to go about making out bridge. This is trial #2 :) 



As you can see, our bridge design was very simple, easy and strong! We took four large pieces of manilla folder, rolled them tightly to ensure strength, taped them to each other, and attached spacers at the ends to maintain stability. 


Looks like our design performed quite well! It was able to hold 40 magazines!
