Write problem/project Goal
create an arch that wil hold the most wieght that it can.

My First Task
i am going to create a design for the arch.

Summary of actual work over first weekend
i did as planned since i made a 3d model of the arc that is made up of small cylinders to represent the pasta that i decided to use for my arc, it took going through pictures of pasta to decide which type to use.

Week1 Narrative
over the weekend i looked at different types of pata and decided to use the cylindrical type that is hollow and i will justglue the pieces togethor so that they stay togethor and bend to make an arc. in 123d i made the little cylinders and then i started to attach them in an arc to make our arc.

My Second Task
my second task will be o start making the arc.

Summary of actual work over second weekend
my weekend went as planned because i started to build the arc.

Week2 Narrative
Over the weekend i made the arc to the bridge and took pictures as i built the bridge i used the epoxy to glue togethor peices of penne pasta to make the arc. also i thought about how to attach the hangers to the arc and decided it would be best to glue them to the joint of the pasta to give the best structural support. Also i started to design a peice to get the angles right for the perfect bridge were every piece is touching.









My Third task
for the next weekend i will finish a design and start to make a piece to sand down the pasta.

Summary of actual work over third weekend
what was different instead of making another arc i made a holder so that we could get the pasta to the correct angle and i made some designs for the arc to get the best idea.

Week3 Narrative
over the weekend i got a piece of wood and marked spots one inch apart along a line and then drilled a hole that fit the noodles the best for a tight fit. Also i came up wit two designs one which was a block of wood with holes in it and the other with the hole that went throughit at a slight angle so i could just sand it down and know i had the right angle. The prototype that i made was to thin since if you sanded with to much force the noodles would break.

My Fourth task
for the fourth week i will continue making the noodles with the right angle and make the arc.

Summary of actual work over fourth weekend
This went as planned as far as making the noodles have the angle but i did not get to building the arc since getting the noodles to the right angle took so long.

Week4 Narrative
Over the weekend i used the board that i made to hold the noodles and sanded them down to make a slightly bigger angle by taking alittle off so it would be about 3 degess taken off. I did this for a bunch of noodles but it took a while and some broke while others had to much sanded so they would not work. So by thinking i decided that the board would be fixed if it was thicker, i started working on it but the piece of wood i was working on had already been drilled partially on the other side and i just went back to the first one and was just more careful.
