Balsawood Structure Design
1. Introduction:
This report is the first stage of the design, construction and testing
of a balsa wood structure. In April, the design will be tested against
classmates’ designs, where the design with the highest load/weight ratio
wins. The information gained from this report will be used in the
construction of the structure. The report is composed of two sections.
The first is an evaluation of material properties of balsa, glues and

grains will be used, but as the arch curves to a vertical orientation,
vertically oriented grains need to be used. This gradual change in
grain will be possible with plywood style layering of the balsa.
Until further testing of prototypes is possible, this is all of the
relevant information available. Ideally, a structure such as this one
should perform well, but that remains to be seen.
