What you did in the prior week
I spent several hours to know the basic knowledge of truss bridge and tired to apply them into the bridge design. Clearly know about the constraint of the design, and come up solution for it.
What you and your teammates have agreed you'll do in the coming week
Several different methods are worth to try. Individual design would benefit diversity ideas, and team work would benefit one optimal design.
Major accomplishments of the week for the team
The whole team worked together for the in-class design. Some major principals of truss bridge design have been determined during this process. It helps a lot in the individual process.
Issues that the team or you as an individual faces
After I have saw the result of the other teams, I realized that my design still have a lot of room to improve. More research should be done in the future.
Three question for librarian.
1. How to find the resources related to that how the different material would impact the building of the bridge?
2. How to find the resources that how the tension force or compression force work on the truss bridge?
3. How to the find the resources that how the height of the bridge impact the force supporting system of the bridge?
