I beam vs. Custom beam :Results

I tested my custom beam to hold the weights up in the bag with the beam holding the handles. I first tried 3 pounds and it held up. I tested 6 pounds and it collapsed. In conclusion, I think that it should have been able to hold 3.1-5.5 pounds. I tried the I beam and it held for both 3 and 6 pounds. I then tried 7 and the 14 and it still held up. In conclusion for the I beam, I am able to hold over twice the weight of the custom beam and maybe more as it still did not collapse. I think that my custom beam fell because the lines on it go vertically making it flexible and easy to bend which is why it broke so easily. The I beam on the other hand had the cardboard holding it made sure it could not able to bend.
