What else can I help you with?
Why bridges don't collapse?
Bridges dont collapse because there are many supportive links below it that hold it up...also for bridges without supports underneath, (usually small bridges) have concreton sold ground holding it up
How do tornadoes affect bridges?
Tornadoes have caused bridges to collapse on a number of occasions. In some cases pieces of bridges have been carried away by tornadoes.
Why should you stay away from bridges or tunnels during earthquake?
They are liable to collapse.
What are some of the main reasons as to why bridges collapse?
There are a huge variety of reasons why bridges collapse, it is dependent on the bridge type, construction material and location. Some of the major reasons are; earthquake, boat impact, flooding, construction accidents, manufacturing defect, design faults or lack of maintenance.
HOW CAN RESONANCE COLLAPSE BRIDGES?
Resonance can collapse bridges if the frequency of vibrations from moving vehicles matches the natural frequency of the bridge structure, causing it to oscillate and eventually fail. This phenomenon, known as mechanical resonance, can lead to the accumulation of stress and strain that weakens the bridge's support structure, eventually causing it to collapse. Structural damping or modification of the bridge's design can help to prevent resonance-induced failures.
How is calculus important in your daly life?
It allows the bridges that you walk on to be built in such a way that they won't collapse while you're doing so.
Why do engineers design bridges with expansion slotsions?
Because bridges expand and contract with the change in temperature. The expansion joints allow the bridge to 'flex' as the temoerature rises and falls, ensuring the structure doesn't buckle or collapse.
How do high winds affect bridges?
i think its because the wind is blowing to hard.
What are some ways to make bridges more earthquake-resistant?
You should place a more solid structures to it to prevent it from shaking. This way it wont collapse.
What does acid rain do to your roads and highways and bridges?
It also causes our roads, highways, and bridges to corrode and become weaker. This is a huge safety hazard not only for roads and highways, but also for bridges because if a bridge is weak, it will collapse. It costs a lot of money to keep replacing the roads, highways and bridges, and it comes out of our tax money.wanker wanker wanker hahaha lol
Can dogs walking across bridges make them collapse?
The likelihood of a dog walking across a bridge causing it to collapse is extremely low. Bridges are designed and built to withstand much heavier loads than the weight of a single dog. Factors such as the bridge's structural integrity, design, materials used, and maintenance are far more significant in determining its safety. It would take a highly unusual set of circumstances for a dog to cause a bridge to collapse just by walking across it.
How do bridges stay up?
A bridge has three things to complete the foundation to keep it from collapsing. They are called spread footings, caissons and piles. It also has the deck itself. +++ All these components are also very carefully designed to withstand the various stresses that they will bear in service.
