    This technical report summarizes the design and construction of a popsicle stick bridge built by Team squadra_azzura for the BRIDGE_IT competition at IIT-BHU. The bridge was required to be 30 inches long, less than 4 inches tall and 3 inches below the deck, and no more than 5 inches wide to accommodate a 4 by 4 inch vehicle. The team designed a customized arc truss bridge made of popsicle sticks and glue to meet requirements while being strong, lightweight, low-cost and aesthetically pleasing. The report describes the structural design process including selecting a continuous 36 inch span, solid ribble arch, and Pennsylvania truss configuration to maximize strength and load distribution to the supports.

    ((*ALL REQUIRMENTS WERE CONSIDERED WHILE MAKING OF BRIDGE))
    ||ABSTRACT OF OUR BRIDGE||
    (ISOMETRIC VIEWS)

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    INTRODUCTION

    Project was to build a truss bridge using popsicle sticks and white glue. While
    building the bridge we were to make the strongest prototype we could, but also
    minimize cost and weight and also make it aesthetically pleasing. Upon building
    the bridge we were given certain constraints including weight and dimensions.
    Before beginning construction we did testing to see how much glue was required
    to glue two popsicle sticks together with the most strength. Also in our concept
    design we had to consider the ease of construction, aesthetics, strength, and
    weight. After construction we will load test it to failure then analyze why it failed.

    General Factors for Design.

    Structural Constraints.
    Our bridge was to be 30 inches in length. It could not be taller than 4 inches and below
    the deck could not exceed 3 inches. The width had to be no more than 5 inches. Overall
    the bridge would have to accommodate a 4 by 4 inch vehicle. There are no I-beams or
    box -beams. Our prototype was a customized Arc(solid ribble) Truss Bridge because we
    felt the arc design would work best as a realistic

    situation and our customized touch would increase the aesthetics a little.

    Construction Constraints.

    We were limited to only 2 types of materials, including wood craft


    sticks and white adhesives.. There must be at least a 1-inch clear gap
    between any two stacks. The deck of the bridge had to be completely
    continuous along its width and length. For load testing, the bridge
    will set on supports that will be provided by the Instructor.
    DESIGN_PROCESSING/PLANNING
    SELECTION OF SPAN:-----

    CONTINUOUS SPAN
    LENGTH- 36 INCHES

    REASON : CONDITION REQURIMENT ON ARENA ONLY


    TWO SUPPORT

    SELECTION OF ARCH:-----

    SOLID RIBBLE ARCH ( TIED ARCH)

    REASON: ALL FORCES WOULD BE RANSFORMED TO


    SUPPORT WALLS IN THE HORIZONTAL DIRECTION.

    SELECTION OF TRUSS:----

    PENNSYLVANIA TRUSS
    REASON: TO PREVENT BENDING CHANCE ON LIVE
    LOADING POINT AND FOR INCREASING BEARING
    CAPACITY OF HEAVY AND IMAPCT LOADS.
