Structural Efficency

In this project we took a set of cards and tried to build the most efficient building possible.  Our group placed first by a long shot in the competition.  Our building had an efficiency rating of 513.91.  We did not change our structure after the preliminary testing, but we doubled the efficiency in the final results.

Keystone Library - Commercial Wall

In this project we learned about all the different types of walls used in buildings, and then we placed one into our library.  What I liked about this project was putting in our own type of wall.  What I didn't like was trying to find thicknesses for the worksheet.
