Spaghetti bridge project

Students in Anahita Khodadadi's ARC 453/553: Structures 2 class recently explored the geometric design parameters of a structural truss through bridge design. Students were asked to make lightweight bridges using only spaghetti noodles or lasagna gusset plates and glue. Bridges that earned high scores had great load-bearing capacity while having minimal weight. Photos: Douglas Levere
