Watch this amazing moment as a group of Civil Engineering students test the strength of their meticulously crafted wooden bridge model! The suspense is palpable as they stack weight plates, one after another, pushing the structure to its limits. This particular bridge model manages to hold an incredible over 400 kg before finally collapsing! This classic university engineering project, often called a "Spaghetti Bridge" or "Stick Bridge" competition, challenges students to apply structural design principles and material science knowledge to create the strongest possible bridge using limited, lightweight materials. Witness the power of good engineering and the excitement of a high-stakes academic competition! Key Highlights: Bridge structure: Small wooden sticks (possibly balsa wood or toothpicks). Load: Gym weight plates (in kilograms). Final Weight: Over 430 kg / 948 lbs (approx.) Discipline: Civil Engineering / Structural Engineering.
