The document discusses different designs for distributors to distribute load on a bridge. Design 1 added two distributors between vertical surfaces to distribute the load. Design 2 rotated the angle of the distributor horizontally to enhance load distribution. Design 3 combined horizontal and vertical distributors by overlapping them. Design 4 reduced weight by reducing fettuccine while adding more strips. Design 5 proposes adding more beams to discharge the load across more beams to increase efficiency.

43. Distributor 1
Design:
We added two distributors in between both vertical surfaces of
the bridge to distribute the load.
Strengthen the member with multiple layer of fettuccine with number of 4.
Distributor 2
Design:
The angle of the distributor rotated horizontally to enhance the load distribution
as is increase the cross section area of the connector.

44. Distributor 3
Design:
We combined the horizontal and vertical distributor by overlapping
it horizontal distributor with vertical distributor.
Result:
The testing was the first reading that carries the
load more than 10kg which 12kg as highest reading and
the bridge still standing without any member snap yet the
connector broke into half.
Conclusion:
The connector gets stronger with reinforcement and wider cross
section area but it will also increase the weight of the overall bridge.
Distributor 4
Design:
reduce the weight of the bridge by reducing the number of
fettuccine in the distributor.
added another two strips of fettuccine.
a small piece of fettuccine are added in between distributor
to increase the cross section area.
Conclusion:
The connector gets stronger with reinforcement and wider cross section
area but it will also increase the weight of the overall bridge.

45. Distributor 5 (Proposal)
Conclusion:
Since we knew that the graph of strength of the beam - the thickness (line) are curve, double the thickness doesn't
double
the strength, keep adding the thickness not solving the problem.
we decided to add more beam to discharge the load into more beam, this can increase the efficiency of the truss.
we can estimate the load will discharge equally (+ -) since the length of each member of the beam are almost the same
length, however, detail calculation can be made.
