Because in the early years of the bridge, altho it was state of the arch newest technology some people didn't feel safe about crossing it as it was a one of its kind. In 1884 the…

Bending Strength requirement This is the first body requirement and its task is to support all the vehicle subsystems. The body in static is going to suffer bending due to the weight of the components, passengers, fuel and cargo, Figure 42. Similar to a beam simple supported, the very first requirement is that the structure bend sufficient to absorb the energy due to the weight, but has to withstand the weight under different loading scenarios. Figure 42: Body loading under a static scenario…

This case study is based on an investigation of material evidence provided by the NASA Safety Center(NSC), National Aeronautics and Space administration (NASA), National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), and a full-scale load rating of the bridge superstructure. Proximate (Direct) Cause: Gusset plates…
