When building an earthquake-resistant building, you need to have a stable and secure structure. In this project, our group tested the stability of multiple spaghetti structures to find the perfect earthquake-resistant building. These buildings have certain restrictions and requirements, including having a minimum height of 60cm. The maximum base is 30 x 30 cm. The peak of the building must be a minimum of 5 x 5 cm. We also have restrictions on materials. We have $60 in total. One spaghetti stick is $1, and one gram of blu-tack is $1.
The next step in the engineering process was to brainstorm so we brainstormed multiple ideas that could work for a structure. and decided to pick the most stable one.
after brainstorming possible ideas we researched ways we could implement this 2d structure into a 3d spaghetti structure
After dipping our toe into the create section of the engineering process and figuring out that we made some mistakes with the design we improved the design and then created the final design
Then once we finished the final design we tested and it did not break (the video can be found in the link below)
