Description

Make your own cast beams that look like pre-stressed concrete beams. Test them and you’ll find they perform like them, too. These beams are cast with a mixture of sand and plaster of Paris (not included). The rebar is made of the same plastic used for the I-beams. Students can explore how the strength of the beam is affected by the amount of tension put on the rebar, the mixture of sand and plaster of Paris, or using one or two rebar.
