Presentation - Results

As a result, the truss (Sonny Truss) with an extra compression member was able to hold the most amount of weight due to it’s extra member which allowed it to distribute weight more efficiently.
The second best bridge in weight bearing capacity as compared to its design was the Pratt Truss Bridge that with stood 32 pounds.
As for the most efficient bridge in the series, the Sonny Truss also took place for being the most efficient bridge
As a result, compression members added to any truss bridge when placed in the correct spot can be very useful in the even distribution of weight from the center of the bridge to the foundation of the bridge itself.
Without the correct placement of a tension/compression member, the bridge might have had an early failure and would have led to a skew in the experimentation process.
