What effect does gravity have on bridges?
The primary effect of gravity on a bridge is that it keeps it "in place" in the wind. The massive weight of the bridge is a key part of its structure and of its structural integrity. Certainly gravity acts to "pull the bridge down" in effect, but we use that to stabilize the structure, turning a "negative" into a "positive" in that light. Gravity transfers forces to the structures that support the bridge, and, in the case of (most) suspension bridges, hold the ends of the main cables to the massive blocks set to maintain the tension of those cables.
What are examples of dynamic loads?
A Person walking on a bridge, wind, cars on a bridge. Basically anything that doesn't stay on that structure forever.
What is mandatory in bridge designs?
wind tunnels
Does the Sagamore bridge close in high wind?
sagamore bridge is close yes o no
What is the force exerted by the Tacoma narrows bridge?
the force was torsion. the wind made it bend like silly puddy ************** The force exerted TO the Tacoma narrows bridge was initially the wind resistance. The wind resistance caused the whole bridge to act as a system with forced vibration with damping.
What is the load of a bridge?
The load of a bridge is the amount of weight that can be distributed throughout the bridge without collapsing. Engineers take into effect, wind, rain, and earthquakes when calculating the load.
I heard a wind sound effect and am trying to link it to a song title what could it be?
Bridge of sighs ...Robin Trower
When was Donghai Bridge Wind Farm created?
Donghai Bridge Wind Farm was created in 2010.
How does erosion effect wind?
erosion doesn't effect wind, wind causes erosion

What caused the tacma narrows bridge to collapse?
Tacoma bridge fell down because it is too narrow compare to its length. So the bridge was unstable and due to strong wind it was collapsed.

Does the Sagamore bridge close in high wind?
sagamore bridge is close yes o no
Is it safe to hide under a bridge in a tornado?
No. It can be one of the worst places; although there is video footage of a man with his daughter surviving as they took cover under a bridge. They survived mainly because the tornado missed the bridge. The bridge itself creates a wind tunnel effect that cause the wind to accelerate as it passes through. Additionally, bridges offer no protection from debris, which is the main killer in a tornado.

What is an example of torsion?
A suspension bridge twisting in the wind.
