Popsicle Stick Bridge Designs That Can Hold Weight. Our goal was to build a bridge out of popsicle sticks that can hold 40 times its weight. The bridge will be loaded midspan like a point load and theres no limit on the number of Popsicle sticks but theres a 1 kg maximum weight so strength-to-weight.
Line them up with a ruler to keep them straight. Last updated on October 5 2016 by MW60321 Hi I just wanted to share the excitementby using ideas from your website recommended by my sons Cub Scout leader my son Jackson and I were able to build a Popsicle bridge with approximately 125 sticks. Bridges must be able to hold a pre-determined weight 5 pounds or 20 pounds Structure must span a minimum of 14 inches in length.
This Howe Truss bridge uses 99 popsicle sticks spans 21 inches and holds 200 pounds.
Every year many students world-wide build bridges made soley from popsicle sticks and glue to see which designs can hold the most weightWe built one using maybe 140 sti.
