Thank you so much man. You’re a literal lifesaver. I had a bridge project for school, and the first one I made failed. I tried yours, and it held the maximum amount of weight required and didn’t even start bending or cracking. Thank you so much for this design, you just got a new subscriber!!

[@StructurePlanet]

Gald that the video helped!

[@softtpinkk]

same here. i need to make a truss bridge

[@Sexiisarah5262]

How many popcicle sticks does this take?

[@StructurePlanet]

104.

[@Sexiisarah5262]

@@StructurePlanet thanks you. Would it be possible to make it with 90? We aren't allowed to use more than that.

[@brandoncraig2323]

Hey man I followed this video and then added on to it for a college math class project, I'm a sophomore in high school and we put a weight bar on it and kept adding weight to it and it did not crack or bend or snap at all, all the way up to 305lb that's all the weight we had and nothing happened to it,😀 thanks for a great bridge it got me first place in class and i have it hanging up in my room now because it's not broken or damaged at all😀😀

[@StructurePlanet]

Wow. Happy to hear that and this is a great news!

[@sainaren8166]

Hi bro actually ibtried this model for a fest in our college and the result was amazing . This bridge was able to hold wieght upto 92kgs. Actually we had weights upto 92kgs only . And the surprising thing was this bridge didn't even bend at 92kgs. Our sir told this bridge would easily hold weights more than 100kgs . Bro please make another video but this time keep the bridge span between 50-70 cm span.

[@StructurePlanet]

Thanks for letting me know. I am glad that it could take more than 90kg. I will definitely make a Popsicle bridge with a longer span in the future.

[@Kevinqiuzeng]

Hey one question, could I add more sticks to cover the blank spaces and it would still work the same?

[@StructurePlanet]

On the top and bottom blank spaces or the sides?

[@Kevinqiuzeng]

@@StructurePlanet top and bottom

[@StructurePlanet]

It will have no effect on the capacity.

[@lukehawkins04]

Used your design for my physics project and for my test it held 80 lbs and I’m sure it can go further!! Thanks a lot for the great video!

@@pc5890 sir don’t be rude or inappropriate thank you sir

[@reapertm4861]

Late reply but wood glue is way better and stronger than hot glue. I'm sure you could use that.

[@lashee6573]

How far across is the bridge?

[@velraven8944]

When your construct only fails at the material strength level instead of the engineering level you basically won at engineering

[@larrysanchez6453]

I love the design and I should use it for a competition later on, bu it does have to many popsicle sticks!

[@StructurePlanet]

Thank you! It needs 104 sticks!

[@StructurePlanet]

This bridge was designed with 104 sticks but 8 sticks can be removed from the compression chord which is at the top side of setup #2 or the bottom of setup #1 without affecting the capacity by much. Currently there are 18 sticks there including one at each end of the bridge and the remaining 16 sticks are placed in 8 groups of 2 which can be reduced to 8 individual sticks instead.

[@adriannadioli8953]

Do you know what the length of the bridge was

[@maliktruffle3487]

Can you tell me some tips if i am making a arch bridge? i am making it for math project

[@StructurePlanet]

Arches will go into compression which means that it should be sized up in a way that it is not slender and to be braced laterally along the length to avoid an early buckling failure. There should also be a tie element (will go into tension) that connects both ends of the arch to stop the arch from opening.

[@umarchaudhary8633]

what is the width of the bridge?

[@StructurePlanet]

One side is one stick wide which is about 11.4cm or 4.5" and the other side is 6.5cm or 3".

[@jacobsoltanpour1274]

I am not an engineer but my observation says that glue failed not stick. The following education video says that joints should be pinned, meaning they should rotate freely. With glue, they can't rotate. Maybe making holes on the ends of sticks and connecting them with a wire on each joint. I will try and post the result if I have time. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fp_CmqKwitRso5Y

[@diddran6588]

Whats is the dimensions and what is the designed called / what type of bridge is it?

[@snoopboii11]

What type of bridge would this be considered as and also how long is the entire bridge?

[@VonVitto]

At 1:30 you didn't show us you turned the bridge to the other side

[@bcgcsmaucb0112]

thank you

[@myopinonz]

I would consider the few times you stood on the bridge more of impact loading and not fair to your work, bridges are not designed to take on max load in an impact way, they are however great at handling load that is slowly added and stable, a bridges strength resembles exactly the strength of a chains weakest link.. I really feel this bridge could have easily handled 300lbs if applied correctly, just my stupid opinion, I am no engineer.

[@StructurePlanet]

Thanks for pointing this out. It actually took me a while to break it but I included the last segment only. Also, the weight will be initially concentrated in front of the foot which makes things worst. It just that I didn't have any other way to load test the bridge. My guess is also that it could have taken much more if the load was applied more statically.

[@myopinonz]

@@StructurePlanetthanks for the update, that's very impressive in comparison to it's dry weight, great video.

[@ruzannamelikian5222]

104!

[@blamedtie2008]

[@i8yuu_]

love how you dont wanna give a free advertise to the shoes company

[@umarchaudhary8633]

5:52 if there is compression upwards and tension downwards, why is there still compression upwards and tension downwards when the bridge is flipped at 6:00 ? should it not be compression downwards and tension upwards when the bridge is flipped? please explain i do not understand.

[@umarchaudhary8633]

Bro please reply i cant understand

[@StructurePlanet]

Assume that this is a beam and load is applied downward. So for a simply supported beam which is bending downward, tension will be at the bottom of the section since the bending alongates the tension side and shortens the compression side.

[@umarchaudhary8633]

i still cant understand

[@axel9023]
