The I-5 Skagit River Bridge Collapse

In order to come up with a solution to prevent bridge failure, we must understand what cause

bridges to collapse in the first place. There is a bundle of issues that cause bridges to collapse,

but the main reason is when a mix of factors take place simultaneously. If these factors took

place one at a time then maybe we can pinpoint the problem before it leads to failure. Some of

these issues might be due to overload, or maybe a natural disaster, and the bridge wasn’t stable

enough to withstand it. One example of a bridge that failed is the I-5 Skagit River Bridge. The

cause of this collapse was a failure of infrastructure. The overload of vehicles crossing the bridge

was the definite cause of the incident. The reason why this
