Can a LEGO Bridge Hold 100kg?

[@shroomzzz]

Can we have a moment of silence for all the innocent technic pins that gave their lives in pursuit of this demo?

[@BuilditwithBricks]

A lot were lost for the benefit of the video!

Of course we can. But only for the black ones, the blue ones diserved it

[@ridleycombs]

The "cables" aren't really doing much here, by the look of things, since the central tower is ultimately just resting on the truss span; it looks like the main reason the final bridge passed the test was that the anchoring for the tower helped reinforce the center portion of the bottom to take the tensile strain better. From the first box-girder bridge onwards, the failing components were always the pins between the main beams on the bottom (the side bearing much more compressive stress); I'd expect that overlapping the beams more and using axles instead of pins would've improved performance.

[@Manu-nc9tl]

It will be more effective upside down!

[@theskree-hawman2254]

😢

[@Arhange1790]

Yes, l thought that too. Last one realy must be turned upside down, so it will become upside down suspension bridge. Or he just could prolong main tower to the ground)

[@wall-on-youtubelol]

Um what did you say

[@dylangreen4083]

My thoughts exactly​@@Arhange1790

[@TheRocco96]

Those frames were connected in straight lines, the construction would have been stronger if the frames were connected in an overlapping pattern, like how brick houses are made.

[@Manigo1743]

That last bridge makes no sense at all. It sould be supported at the center, not at the ends. The pylon and cables make no difference.

[@Alpaca5089]

Finally someone who actually understands how basic physics works

[@Alpaca5089]

If he used them as compression bars it would have worked but no

[@Lubin-md4ml]

I agree. I'm nowhere near to a physics student, but all these bridges seemed to be built the same way, just with more and more added frames in straight lines. I don't think he understands how physics work and how force is distributed through design.

[@jamesy8581]

Great video, fun to watch. If anyone can correct me, please do. I love to learn: I think your bridge design could be improved. Your last bridge, the cable stayed one, has a design flaw; that being that a traditional cable stayed bridge has pillars that are supposed to be load bearing. Instead of the center holding up the edges, you have the edges holding up the center, which favors a truss bridge or a through bridge. Having all that lego in the middle is really heavy, as well. But I'm not an engineer, and I loved watching your video. Just a suggestion.

[@YourAverageProgrammer1]

A suspension bridge is the best idea in my opinion, back in middle school I had an engineering class as an elective, and there was this challenge to make the strongest bridge with just popsicle sticks and anything we brought that our teacher approved of, and I asked if I could bring some light rope, and he agreed, so me and my two friends made a suspension bridge, and we made some cross bearings for the (I forget the technical term) tower thing in the middle, and we won.

[@dividingrain1907]

The only problem is that in this case. If the beams where ropes they would not do anything. Because the tower is the middle the ropes would experience compression force and as you know. Ropes are too good at compression forces

[@laawedreteip]

Nope Stack plates side wase and greate an H beam that wil be the stongest

[@EthanChaleff]

My civil engineering professor used to say: given enough time, money, and materials, anyone can build a bridge; only an engineer can build a bridge that just barely doesn't fall down.

[@rimano]

IKEA table are incredibly strong !

[@jschouten1985]

The whole deck is made from square's, should have used triangles instead. Triangles are soooo much stronger

[@cavalierliberty6838]

But triangles are not the strongest shape.

[@dividingrain1907]

@@cavalierliberty6838 what is the strongest form then?

[@woaminibricks]

OMG, the bridge's durability is admirable

[@Mattthetatt]

That creaking. Never thought it would hold that weight.

[@Dr904]

The "cables" can handle way more during tensile stress than during compressive stress. So the bridge would be stronger if you flipped it upside down.

[@gary9793]

Not only this, I’m pretty sure he isn’t aware of any internal stress distribution (for instance, those horizontal beams are utterly useless due to the minimal axial moment) and only considers the whole thing as a rigid bar. But good content tho!

[@Manu-nc9tl]

@@gary9793 Witn a 100Kg lego brigde you can handle 100Kg weight! Very impressive...

[@Roboseal2]

The side members usually give way first I noticed. Joins have point of failure

[@sweetie_bs]

Bro got weights from ww2. Really good and solid content keep it up

[@BuilditwithBricks]

Ah thanks for the support!

[@yellowtailsmultiverse8883]

I believe that one way to reduce stress on the center point of the bridge would be braces that would have rested against the table edges. That way when more weight was added, these braces are more likely to take most of the load rather than the main span of the bridge itself.

[@kuntakinte4333]

A bridge has fallen into the river! Quick!!! Build a man to repair it!

@@BuilditwithBricks yes of course, i really enjoy your great skills. So nice

[@Frank5010001]

You did NOT understand the priciples of suspension bridges. Kables have to be under pull not push. The pillars do not support the part, where they standing but the free hanging parts of the road, where the other ends of the cables are attached. If you want to support the middle of a bridge, you need to bould the pillars at the ends of the bridge and route the kables to the middle. Or simple build an arch bridge.

[@Ztbss]

Theoretically most of us could stand on that?

[@BuilditwithBricks]

Hey, absolutely! That was the aim! You’ll have to get on slowly and carefully though!

[@BuilditwithBricks]

No worries! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@tangentfox4677]

It's obviously possible, I was just here to see how it'd be accomplished. Unfortunately, barely any visual information is presented on how it worked. Would've been better to show exactly how each stage fixed the previous failure in detail.

[@Bedrock_Blaster]

6:42 you call THAT a pass? Technically it did hold 100kg but it was already beyond damaged and probably would have crashed within a few minutes. If you say that a bridge can carry up to 2t for example, you are saying that the bridge can transport up to 2t without risking damage. That might be a tall task for mere Lego constructions so it's fine if it's risking damage but it shouldn't show obvious signs of material failure I would say.

[@gagepuffinbarger6939]

You could make it a lot stronger and lighter by implementing trusses
