Thank you for explaining, demonstrating, and giving examples of how triangles in architecture can just improve the build. Not only that, but showing how weak squares really are. Greek mythology is right, three is a strong number!
I have a Question... i am building bridge right now, would adding more and more triangle help bridges to be more stronger? or is there any "limit" line more it?
It's not necessary, but it helps. We were able to stand on our bridge at the end of the experiment, you may not, yet if all you need to do is survive a certain amount of weight, you can cut down on things. Try and keep the diagonal inside struts, and the side ones. You can ditch the path surface and the ones that divide the triangles. Good luck!
NewKingBrandon I meant the inner struts. What I would recommend doing is making cut down truss bridge. Start with the 4 corners, the bars that run down the center, and just add triangles to hold them together.
All the popsicle stick bridges I've made we're done using a hot glue gun (like in my profile picture). You could experiment with other glues, yet you can't go wrong with hot glue.
