1 World s Tallest Tower Case Study #1 Northern Highlands Regional High School Applied Technology Department Real World Engineering List Design/Build Engineering Team Members Name of Engineering Firm Instructor Ms. Sicola
2 Scenario Your Engineering Firm has been approached by the City of San Francisco to Design and Build a skyscraper that will be the tallest building in the world. The Structure must also be able to withstand an earthquake of 8 on the earthquake scale for a time period of 30 seconds.
3 Statement of the Problem The problem we had to solve was to design and build the tallest tower possible that would support a live load of 15 lbs. and survive an earthquake that measures 8 on the earthquake scale for 30 seconds.
4 Design Criteria The tower must be the tallest tower possible that your team can build. The minimum height acceptable is 30 inches tall. The tower must be built strong enough to withstand a live load at the top that measures 15 lbs. for 30 seconds The structure must be able to survive an earthquake that measures 8 on the earthquake scale for a time period of 30 seconds. The welded joints of the structure must be reinforced with paper squares not to exceed 1 inch by 1 inch square. The top of the tower must be flat and at least 4 x 4
5 Design Constraints You must use only the materials supplied by the teacher to construct the tower. The tower must be constructed of 1.55oz. (44 grams) of Balsa Wood (#40 two foot sticks 1/8 x 1/8) and eight (8) glue sticks ¼ x 4 For the working models (possible solutions) you will be given four ¼ glue sticks and 20 balsa wood sticks 2 length 1/8 x 1/8 For the Final Prototype you may only use 8 ¼ glue sticks to weld the structure s materials where the members touch. You may use a maximum of 1 square paper to reinforce each welded joint You may not coat the entire length of the balsa with hot glue. Remember, only where the members touch. You have a maximum of 20 days to solve the design/build case study The base of the tower cannot exceed 10 x 10 The top of the tower must be a minimum of 4 x 4
6 Possible Solutions Hypothesis Theory on how it will work Tested Results Static Load held, weight of tower & Stability (explain what happened for each solution when tested) Prototype #1) Prototype #2) Prototype #3)
7 Picture of Prototype #1 Construction
8 Picture of Prototype #2 Construction
9 Picture of Prototype #3 Construction
10 The Final Solution Give a detailed description of your Final Design. Why did you include certain features into your final design? Describe why you rejected certain design features? Question? Can you mathematically calculate how tall you can build your tower with onequarter pound of balsa wood #75 sticks? 1. Measure and record the total length of the material that your final prototype used in its construction.

15 Test Results and Conclusions COPY QUESTIONS INTO YOUR GOOGLE SLIDES AND ANSWER 1. List the total height to the nearest 1/16 th of an inch for your tower? 2. What was the weight of your tower in grams? 3. Did your design solution meet all the design criteria and stay within the design constraints? Did your tower reach the minimum height of 49 inches? If not, what prevented your team from reaching your goal? 4. Did your tower support 15lbs? If not, explain what failed? 5. If the answer is NO, what did you have to change in either the design criteria or constrains? 6. What was the total load that your tower supported for 30 seconds? 7. What was the ratio of load to weight of the tower (ex :1 grams)? 8. Did your tower survive the rock and roll earthquake test for 30 seconds? 9. If the answer is NO, describe what your team observed when testing the final design solution? 10. Describe/Explain what your Design/Build Team would do differently with the final solution in order to make it perform better? 11. How did your final design solution (tower) compare to the other towers tested and built in class? 12. What was the weight of your tower? 13. Create a bar graph that will compare the performance of your final tower design with the other final solutions in class? Compare 1 heights, 2 total weights of the towers and 3 the maximum load supported of each tower. 14. What did your team observe during high frequency earthquake test such as compression, torque, flex? Describe in detail. 15. What did you find the most difficult part of this case study? 16. Explain what you liked the most about this case study? 17. What could we change in the activity to make it more interesting for students? 18. List the tools used to construct the tower. 19. How many feet of balsa wood sticks did you use? 20. Each group member write a two paragraph evaluation on the project was it interesting, too difficult, not enough time, plenty of time, very thought provoking, likes, dislikes, how your group worked shared responsibilities, one sided, did not work well etc. Write your name at the beginning of your evaluation. 21. CAD Drawing Top and Side view with dimensions. Each group member will produce a CAD drawing of their towers final design. 22. REVIT model

17 GRADING HEIGHT Tower Height: a. 30 ; Pass = 40/40A+ b. For every 3 above the 30 required height you will earn 1 point as long as it holds the required weight c. Below the required height you will receive a 0 F for that portion of the project
18 GRADING WEIGHT/EQ Weight: a. Must hold 15 lbs. of static load at the tower s top for 30 seconds = 70/70A+ b. You will lose points for every second that it does not hold the weight no tenths of seconds c. For the maximum static load held, the formula for figuring out the strongest tower will be this formula: Height of the Tower x Weight held for 30 seconds Earthquake: a. Tower must hold for 30 seconds on the EQ machine = 40/40A+ b. For every second that it does not hold you will lose 5 points
