CODE2121 : WEEK 1 : Activity 3

This task was very difficult, as we were not allowed to use glue to hold the structure together, only paper. We came up with a method of weaving the paper, to hold its position, which required cutting slots into our structure. We decided to triangulate the two edges of our “bridge” to allow the loads to distribute outwards towards the tables. After testing the structure was able to hold 10kg, which we found quiet impressive, given the limited amount of paper we had. The structure collapsed by folding in the middle when the load became too much. If the structure was held down on both sides by a weight, it would have been able to hold up a larger load.

Weight:
Self Load - 80 grams
Weight of load -10 kg
