Balsawood Structure Design 1. Introduction: This report is the first stage of the design, construction and testing of a balsa wood structure. In April, the design will be tested against classmates’ designs, where the design with the highest load/weight ratio wins. The information gained from this report will be used in the construction of the structure. The report is composed of two sections. The first is an evaluation of material properties of balsa, glues and …showed first 75 words of 2363 total…

This gradual change in grain will be possible with plywood style layering of the balsa. Until further testing of prototypes is possible, this is all of the relevant information available. Ideally, a structure such as this one should perform well, but that remains to be seen. Figure 7: Basic Design (Code name: Arch) 6. Appendices Figure 8: Bending Test Results
