You can also notice it if you stop in the middle of the bridge, line up a horizontal structural member with a row of windows in one of the buildings, and watch the number of floors you can see above that member increase as a train goes by.All of this is properly engineering. If the bridge were too stiff, it would break in mild wind conditions. Too flexible, and you get Tacoma. |
