Structural Activity




For this project we had to design and build a card tower that needed to be 8 inches tall and be able to hold 5 pounds. We came in second place. Our tower held 5407 grams and had an efficiency rating of 215. In our original structure we only had an efficiency rating of 40.87. So for our design renovations we change the whole design. Instead of triangles we used a circle with cards inbetween for support. 5407 / 25.1 = 215
