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.
