Bridge and Structure Testing<br />
SECONDARY SCHOOL • HIGH ENGINEERING, SCHOOL CODING, AND ROBOTICS<br />
FEATURED ACTIVITY<br />
Bridge Competition<br />
In this team competition,<br />
students use the engineering<br />
design process to design<br />
a bridge with the highest<br />
efficiency, following a set<br />
of constraints and design<br />
requirements.<br />
Equipment Used<br />
Activity Source<br />
NEW Go Direct ® Structures & Materials Tester<br />
Use our new Go Direct Structures & Materials Tester to<br />
evaluate the strength of model bridges and engineered<br />
structures by measuring the applied load. Utilizing<br />
both load and displacement sensors, your students can<br />
evaluate the properties of materials.<br />
Benefits<br />
• The force and displacement sensors connect via<br />
Bluetooth ® wireless technology or via USB.<br />
• Uses our free Graphical Analysis 4 app to collect and<br />
analyze data<br />
• Exact force and displacement for bends and breaks<br />
• Accurate positioning for center and off-center loading<br />
• Easy loading for different sizes and shapes<br />
• Includes free Materials Testing: Beams to Bridges<br />

NEW Materials Testing: Beams to<br />
Bridges with the Go Direct<br />
Structures & Materials Tester<br />
With the activities in this e-book, students use the<br />
Go Direct Structures & Materials Tester to investigate<br />
materials and structures.<br />
Topics include<br />
• Beams: Investigate the relationship between dimensions<br />
and flexibility.<br />
• Trusses: Explore why trusses fail and how to compensate<br />
for weaknesses.<br />
• Bridges: Use the engineering design process to build and<br />
test bridges.<br />

Truss Tester Accessory<br />
The Truss Tester Accessory attaches to the Go Direct<br />
Structures & Materials Tester, holds a single truss upright,<br />
and allows the load to be applied in a variety of locations.<br />
