I-Beam Project

Today, I finished my I-beam project. I built the I-beam slightly tilted so many of the objects I tested fell to the side. In the process of building the I-beam, I might have not made the creases wide enough to put the strip in. I also think that the strips were not properly in the creases after the glue dried off. It did support some items but most of the items fell. In my other beam, simple beam, it was more stable but not as strong as my I-beam. The simple beam supported the lighter items but could not support a big textbook. I think that an I-beam is very stable if you build it correctly. This project was very fun.

 

Heres a picture of my I-beam and simple beam.
