A2 - Minami


My bridge is shaped as the way it is because I wanted to make a bridge made of multiple triangles of the same size. I have a bunch of right triangles in my design because I think using them will make the strongest bridge.
My bridge is compromised by only multiple right triangles looking at the elevation, and made of only rectangles looking at the plan. 



The design of the bridge changed because in the previous one, I had triangles of different shapes and sizes, but in this design, I decided to make it simple and just use right triangles of the same shape and size. This may be a standard looking bridge but it has been used in the past for a long time in real bridges. Even though it is nothing fancy, I am confident that it will be a strong bridge.

From designing this bridge, I learned that the most standard bridges may be the best bridges around. It is not fancy with arcs and circles, or curves, but it is a strong standard looking bridge that will do a good job. A standard bridge like this one with triangles and squares is a design that have been used in the past and will surely do a good job.
