Compression Bridge

September 8, 2009

A cantilever can stay together by compression even when quite long.

But the same pieces as a bridge can easily fall apart with a little stress.


NO!
How long can we  make a bridge with only two layers?
Longer than a paper that is 11".
But will it hold up its own weight?
