The bridge project was designed to test our skills in civil engineering a design that can hold at least 20 Newtons of force. My design was a fairly simple idea that actually worked out pretty well for me. My bridge ended up holding somewhere around 40 newtons before breaking completely. I would have built my roadbed a little stronger considering that was the part that actually broke and not the structure itself. I learned that you have to keep giving the same effort from beginning to end on a project. Because I did the roadbed last, I didn't put as much time and effort into thinking about the design of the roadbed so it wasn't as strong as it should have been. The only complaint I had about the project was that we didn't have enough class time which forced me to come in outside of class to finish my bridge.
