Current record-holding 100-gram bridge built in 2000 by Physics 12 student
Matt Sullivan. This photo was taken after the bridge was put back together
from the remnants. A portion of the roadway is missing. In an attempt to
reduce overall mass several holes were drilled in the upper portion of the
structure.
Typical preparation before testing. Bridge is carefully placed on testing
beams and testing apparatus is gently lowered into place. Cable in
foreground was used to transmit live webcam feed during testing.

Matt Sullivan with his award-winning bridge at the trophy presentation
ceremony. The trophy, held here by sponsoring teacher Peter Vogel, has been presented
annually since 1981. APEGBC, the professional body that governs engineering
in this province, has been a contest sponsor since 1999. In 2001 we welcomed
Dofasco Steel as a sponsor. For 2002 we welcomed CSCE, the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering, the UBC
Engineering Physics program, GlobalIntercom.com and SFU's School of Engineering Science as
sponsors. More recently we have added Buckland and Taylor, one of Canada's
most famous bridge design firms, SRC Engineering, Collings Johnston Inc.,
The British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) and the Applied Science
Technologists and Technicians of BC. Visit our
sponsors' page for further information. |
