5. Tie the opposite end of
the cord to the bucket
handle. Carefully place
the bridge or tower
across two chairs or
tables of the same height
as shown in Figures 1 and
2. Make sure the bucket
is hanging straight down
from the center of the
structure.
6. Add sand to the bucket.
If conducting a pass/fail
test, pre-measure the
sand before adding it to
the bucket. If conducting
a destructive test, contin-
ue to gradually add sand
until the structure breaks,
then measure the weight
of the sand.
Alternative for Towers
1. Place the bucket on top of the tower (Figure 3).
2. Add sand to the bucket.
Note: If conducting a pass/fail test, add the sand, place the lid on the bucket, and
then place the bucket on the tower. This will reduce the chance of a mess.
