The engineers that were responsible for building the bridge, created the 3D bridge on a 2D model. Plus the weight that the bridge could hold, was not calculated right for the people. Oops!

There were too many people on the bridge, therefore it could not cope with the weight. So this showed it was not built to perfection.

What are the forces that act on a bridges?

don't know all the forces but the most important thing engineers have to factor in is the frequency at which the bridge vibrates. Bridges can be likened to a guitar string in that they vibrate at different frequencies. If the bridge is 'in tune' with the frequency of the wind it will wobble violently and eventually collapse. One example is the millennium bridge in London, on it's opening day the force of proples walking from side to side caused the bridge to sway considerably, forcing them to close the bridge and add supports.

What was wrong with the Galloping Gurdy bridge?

One day wind was 40 mph and the Gurdy bridge swayed side to side to much it collapsted. No one died or got injered, only one dog. The dog was to scared to get out of a car, so the dog went down with the bridge.Due to the harmonic vibrations the bridge began to wobble and shake. It was not just the wind speed. - The wind caused the vibration which in turn met the harmonic rythm of the structure causing the reaction.
