Project 1
The objective of this project is to design a perfect truss bridge which has both aesthetic value and minimal usage of construction material. The main material of the bridge is fettucine, with the allowance of the application of glue for connection and layering purposes.

The Bridge failed as it topple over due to the increasing weight acting on it, and mainly caused by poor workmanship.
Test 2 is slightly shorter than test 1, to do a comparison based on the height of the bridge.
