Model Testing Day- Surface Construction




Students from building construction 1 were given an assignment titled “Surface Construction”. Each group had to come up with a convincing model that could withstand the load for at least 30 seconds. They were refrained from using glues, staples, or tapes to attempt in their paper construction.

During the Brick Testing day on the 26th March, 2008 (Wednesday); each group participants brought their masterpieces. Initially, supposing that it was too easy for the models to withstand 1 brick and thus, with certainty that their model could withstand the weight of 2 bricks (6kgs). Then… the challenge begins!

To conclude the brick testing, everyone was contented and glad to see the results. However, we sympathy the failure of one group when they challenged the 2 bricks; hence they could not grant the additional points! Ha-Ha!

in terms of paper orientation,

fish's skin, mess wire, pizza italia, tropical shelter are not really 'surface construction'

they are more to skeletal construction instead

Great presentation you have given me an idea on how to use the steel bar in my new house construction. Thank you and keep up the good work.
