  • Typical English. Just got too much natural rythm.

  • the bridge was not designed in horizontal vibration modes but only in vertical. They solved the problem by installing dampers at the support. playguitar86 dont write stupid things that are wrong.

  • wow. the bridge is oscillating. amazing.

  • Faut pas avoir le mal de mer... ;-)

  • It's year 2011, and we can't even build a bridge yet.

  • lol fujino effect

  • So build a proper bridge in the first place. Duh!!!!

  • its actually something to do with the oscillations of the bridge matching to the oscillations of the people who were all walking in time ? my friend told me

    I never knew in civil eng term, it wouldn't class as a failure mode. It like saying tilting train vs media hype about spilling drink, if I recall the eng firm had to prove the media wrong or do they even have to prove anything?

    Thats true, so many civil engineering projects since from the 1800 like Brunel. The Brits kinda wrote the book for the whole world about modern national civil engineering project. But still, ever since then the Jap and US kinda took over. Harmonic is a known factor but FEA sim in the wrong vector. Any engineer would tell you "bi-pedal" would produce different harmonics then a wheel from a truck. It just one of those things overlooked like paint on Hubble lens.

  • @Guesswhokk The millenium bridge didnt fail, there was just too much exessive deflection which worried the public like this

    and you should look at - The Tay bridge collapse, Ronan point collapse, the Cleddau bridge collapse - These are some real pivotal British engineering failures
