Wobbly Bridge I Arch Bridge / Wobbly Bridge II Suspension Bridge
Suspension bridge – an arch bridge viewed from a different angle and subjected to a different load.
Resembling a suspension bridge, the chain bridge reflects the image of the arch bridge. Here, tensile forces are relevant, while in the arch bridge, compressive forces come into play.
This arch bridge made of wooden blocks can be loaded with a weight stone, placed at various points. The fact that the stones are held together by an elastic band allows for the observation of the resulting deformation and how the contact surfaces shift.
