Cardboard Construction Destructive Testing
By Corporal Willy, February 23rd 2010
One of the volunteer jobs that I do while being retired is to write for https://www.engineering.com My articles report on the various items I find that might be interesting to technologists, engineers, scientists and physicists worldwide. These articles should also be of interest to teachers all over the world, because I do include science projects now and then that can be used for classroom projects and school science events. Today I started a special project in our schools in Las Vegas and hopefully it will be adopted everywhere in the world. The use of cardboard or fiberboard as it is sometimes called can be used to build small construction projects and then used in “destructive testing.”
