You have to design and contrast a statically determinate and stable bridge truss using limited number of popsicle sticks and other limited material such that your bridge fulfills followings dimensional criteria –

1. Span(length) of the bridge= 60cm
2. Clear width of the bridge= 10cm
3. Height of the bridge = 10-20 cm(so that a vehicle having a height 10 cm may pass from one end to another end of the deck without any obstacle )
