FETTUCCINE BRIDGE

LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE PROJECT

• ABLE TO 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.

IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE HIGHER EFFICIENCY, WE NEED TO ANALYSE AND EVALUATE EACH OF THE FOLLOWING ITEMS.

- MATERIAL STRENGTH

• BY ADOPTING APPROPRIATE METHOD, DETERMINE THE STRENGTH OF FETTUCCINI, I.E. TENSION AND COMPRESSION STRENGTH.

• BY KNOWING THE STRENGTH OF FETTUCCINI, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DETERMINE WHICH MEMBERS TO BE STRENGTHENED.

- STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF THE TRUSS

• PERFORM DETAILED STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF THE TRUSS O IDENTIFY CRITICAL MEMBERS.

• STRENGTHENED THE CRITICAL MEMBERS IF NECESSARY.

AND ALSO WE HAVE TO PRODUCE AN A4 REPORT WHICH CONSIST OF DETAILED RECORD OF MATERIAL STRENGTH TESTING/EVALUATION AND DETAILED REPORT /PHOTOGRAPHS OF CONSTRUCTION OF THE BRIDGE TOGETHER WITH DETAILED STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF THE BRIDGE.

FETTUCCINE BRIDGE MODEL

IN A GROUP, WE ARE REQUIRED TO DESIGN AND CONSTRUCT A FETTUCCINI BRIDGE OF 350MM CLEAR SPAN AND MAXIMUM WEIGHT OF 80G. THESE REQUIREMENTS ARE TO BE MET, OR ELSE IT MAY RESULT IN REDUCTION OF GRADE. THE BRIDGE WILL BE THEN TESTED TO FAIL. OTHER THAN AESTHETIC VALUE, THE DESIGN OF THE BRIDGE MUST BE OF HIGH EFFICIENCY AND USING THE LEAST MATERIAL TO SUSTAIN THE HIGHER LOAD.
