The competition of frames was about creating a frame (two piles supporting a beam) that could resist as much load as possible.
The frame had to be constructed with wood and then tested on the lab in order to know how much load could carry. The design is important but also its construction.
Finally, our frame could resist 240kg.
The competition was about the design and construction of a truss, and then tested on the lab in order to know the load the structure could carry.
It was a didactic competition to help us learning how structures behave. The truss should be build with spaghetti and with an adequate design in order to resist as much weight as possible. Also, we have to take in consideration, the relation between the weight of the truss and the loads that we applied on it.
