Actually, I used to work for an engineering firm, and yes I am not an engineer, but have seen many blueprints, drawings and calculations while working on the SF Bay Bridge East Span Replacement Project and can tell you that yes they are supposed to flex, but not that vivdly. Yes, I know it is a time-lapse video but it is obvious that the greatest flexing goes on when the train goes over it. Yes, they need to do rebuilding to keep it safe, but not as many times as it has been. I also worked on the last rebuild for the Golden Gate Bridge, and that bridge is way sturdier than the MB. If you watched the NBC commentary you would have heard the authors quote that the bridge was badly designed.Also you do not know me so do not assume that I know nothing about bridges when I had worked on them. Just because I currently work for MNR does not mean I never worked elsewhere. So before you shoot your mouth off learn the facts! |
