Engineering Challenge - Suspension vs Beam Bridges.

25th Nov 2024

Today we completed our 6th and final engineering challenge in our Bridges topic!

Our focus was to experiment the strength of a suspension bridge such as the impressive Millau Viaduct in Southern France! 

Once again, working in teams we created a structure and put our learning to the test! We were amazed to find out that our suspension bridge structure could actually hold more weight than a beam bridge structure despite using the majority of the same materials!
