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.

True.


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.


What property of waves causes bridges to buckle?

Resonance is the property of waves that can cause bridges to buckle. If the frequency of the external forces matches the natural frequency of the bridge, resonance can occur, leading to large amplitude vibrations that can weaken and ultimately damage the structure.


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.

What are examples of appications of resonace?

Antennas are tuned (resonance) to the radio signals they are receiving; glasses can be shattered by sound resonant to the glasses structure; bridges can collaspse due to resonant marching; radiation can be absorbed in treatment resonant to the cells structure.


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.


What causes hyperresonance in a trauma patient?

Hyper-resonance (generally described upon percussion of the chest) is typically seen in Pneumothorax, where an accumulation of air in the pleural space causes compression / collapse of the lung on the affected side. Note that hyper-resonance is a late sign, and is seen infrequently.
