What went wrong?
Degeneracy is what happened. Romans put actual effort and attention to detail into their structures which is how they still stand to this day. Society today is so lazy that they'd rather say "no big deal" instead of putting any effort into anything.
Nothing went wrong. Bridges built today by Americans are much more advanced than Roman ones.
>hur dur muh cut stones
Also population =/= individuals
The bridge looked deep into xir heart and decided xir is really a road. Who are you to judge?
I'm prettu sure the Romans also built some bridges that collapsed shortly afterwards. They simply aren't around to observe.
>WOMEN
This is what I suspected, gender quotas are a physical danger to us all.
pic related, captcha confirms the truth of the matter
America is becoming a second world Northern Brazil, and the effects start showing eventually.
Oh god those units. Fucking americans
Romans did have mortar, they invented it

Virtual fly thru animation of FIU bridge proposal by mcm in 2015. kek comments.
jesus christ , how could this be approved ..
jesus
>>build bridges like pic related that last 2000 years
One thing to point out is that these bridges have been repaired over time, so it's not like they made them and they remain untouched since then.
Also Roman had advanced engineering, and the basics of bridge building haven't really changed. In fact, the new bridge may have been a case of trying too much and overcomplicating the design.
This
What happened? Women designing it and illegal slaves with no knowledge in construction build it. And you still ask what happened?
This bridge was built without mortar you tard.
>be shit skin
>cheat through engineering school
>kill people
>what went wrong
Someone installed a cable stayed bridge without the cables.
Can someone mock this up in CAD to see how many construction ordinances it violates?
>have access to advanced modelling software, hi-tech materials, construction machines and techniques
Have you seen that thing? Looks like no calculations have been made at all. Maybe they built it from Lego, put one plastic soldier on it and then said "It'll hold".
>What went wrong?
thats a rhetorical question
Which of them is going to prison?
>Select all images with bridges
>holy shit it is vibrating in the mock up
THEY KNEW!!!
Also was there a cable stayed in the real one? feel like a decoration in the video
It has no supports, either above or below. The designs called for a tower and suspension bridge, but that wasn't installed. Was it removed from the designs and then they didn't compensate, or were they going to install it later?
>"...women have a different perspective...able to put in an artistic touch...Leonor Flores"
Where was the "artistic touch"? That bridge was butt-ugly. For something they claimed would last 100 years, why did they not put any thought or consideration into make it something aesthetically pleasing to look at? Where is the creativity?
Was the Golden Gate Bridge built today or was it built some 80 years ago, retard?
Just shear my shit up senpai
nigger those cable stays look fake as fuck, they should go to the bottom part, where the main bridge is, not the meme shit roof.
Oh, that would make sense and then it would look like a proper bridge.
Reminds me of the Yanks arguing about whether the US could build the Hoover Dam today, with one autist insisting that they could because technology has advanced while the other pointed out everything else that would impede it.
Sad!
you circled wrong side faggot... and it didn't even collapse becouse of the design(which was fucked anyway) but becouse it was a concrete truss which have no possibility to hold on it's own
>boulder dam
It would never be built today because of environmental regulations.
WRONG
>The highest part of the structure is made out of breeze blocks joined together with mortar
pontdugard.fr
also, it’s not a bridge
It was a pedestrian bridge half assed by spics you retarded tea nigger. Our normal bridges are just fine
would the golden gate last 2000 years?
Oh look, they have support pillars in the middle and arcs carrying and distributing the weight. That's what I'd expect. Not one super long and super heavy slab of concrete over the road with no support at all.
it was a bridge that was incomplete, and they decided to not give a shit about peoples safety.
To be fair, American bridges have to hold the weight of Americans.
>our bridges are just fine
>posts shittiest examples of cheap box-frame bridges like what the soviets built which would collapse if left unattended for more than 2 years.
Pretty sure the Golden Gate Bridge and the Bay Bridge were not built by muh diversity.
kek
Jesus Christ what a piece of shit design. Was it supposed to hang from cables or something? I really can't see this supporting itself, even with prestressing the bottom and other trickery.
I imagine like in any work environment woman more obsessed with how they are perceived and their social status on the workfloor than getting results
I believe this causes stress because its a trait they cant ignore thus becoming more cunty overtime
>Implying Rome wasn’t degenerate
>Implying many modern structures won’t be standing 1000s of years after the human race dies of Monkey Butthole AIDS
News said it was a "marvel of engineering" and "the first bridge of its kind".
wtf. just put 8 1mx20m arched beams on either side, weld and rivet them together and you have a bridge
best bridge coming through
Of course. Marvel at it's longevity and the innovation of it's self cleaning purpose.
That bridge was built buy black and Mexican women, the Roman bridge buy Roman men, so...
Ancient mapuche bridges were better.
(((titanium dioxide)))
that's (((their))) new favorite chemical they love to put in everything including salt/spices/foods for absolutely no reason.
No it will have to be adjusted/rebuilt somehow due to plate tectonics. Even in 2000 years it would throw it out of wack which would ruin it.
Stone bridge wouldn't last 10 years before being demolished by an earthquake.
Concrete, of which they mined from hardened molten lava out of mt vesuvius and mt etna that had flowed underwater and was salinated in the ocean.
What remains is the top 1% of Roman engineering. The rest has all fallen down, and even what's still standing is only so because people have been maintaining it.
>what a ridiculous design
>it'd never hold
>what were they thinking
>it's obvious
Not one calculation or estimate in all this bullshit. You fuckers are driving me to /sci/.
>one American bridge every 15 years collapses, huge media storm Hurr Amerimutts suck!
>buildings in China collapse on a daily basis, no bats an eye.
Why aren't the ethnically homogeneous Chinese able to build a machine that works?
What was this a sacrifice to, any special Luciferian holidays happening on or around the collapse?
Literally the greatest bridge ever built coming through
race mixing
>hurr durr where are your calculations and analysis of this bridge which you have no dimensions or material analysis of
They'd just call you a brainlet if you went over there
Nope. Next one is on the night before May first.
>be american construction company
>hired by jew leader of university
>give idea for bridge with large support system in middle
>jew doesn't like the idea, no support beam

Oy vey
>So much stuff in one single piece of soap
All you need is fat/oil, Sodium bicarbonate aka baking soda and whatever you want the soap to smell and feel like. So simply etheric oils and or plant matter.
It's also cheaper then buyign stuff and always good as a present for somebody else. Make your own soap!
Not to forget that it would be both titanium and aluminum free.
Pretty sure this one is just sheer incompetence.
Roman empire was the most glorious...there will NEVER be an equivalent in human history...

>what's still standing is only so because people have been maintaining it.
Most of the Roman buildings you see today were abandoned for 1000 years minimum. Not only they weren't maintained but they were often used as stone quarry, that's why so few remain intact today.
Isn't it a bit overengineered? Is it meant to resist a Godzilla attack?
>no mortar only cut stone bricks that stick together through friction
which was totally stupid. they had mortar, they just cheaped out and didn't use it
>yeah we totally dismantled a working aqueduct, just because we needed blocks
fuck off. they broke, fell down, and people harvested the remnants.
Probably.
The fact that the engineering company MCM was not approved and that the design company FIGG had other bridges collapse doesn't forebode well.
If the things you make would last 2000 years then how is capitalist consumerist economy supposed to grow?
Nobody makes buildings that last more than 50 years these days. It is too expensive to make them last longer, on the construction side of things. Cost-effectiveness and simplicity have taken over the world of architecture and construction.
they had a law here the engineer had to stand under the keystone as it was placed. this caused bad engineers to be weeded out. we should have a similar law.
oh the hateful racist patriarchal misogyny.
>Make bridge, not walls!
>Make a bridge
>it turn into a wall
Women.
Titanium oxidizes white.
What am i looking here?
That's not a bridge, it's an aqueduct, way too narrow to be a bridge
>of which they mined from
80 IQ. Get the gas.
Diversity hire engineering.
So does it ever snow there? How about big rigs. Can it handle those? Or maybe traffic with cars that way a ton or more going back and forth day in and day out
It’s a shame you’re stupid OP. Please castrate yourself you fucking dumb twat
>a working aqueduct
The one in OP stopped functionning during the 6th century because there was nobody to maintain it anymore. It was then used as a bridge by the peasants around and no, they didn't maintain it, it's just that it was well built.
The Romans built bridges that have lasted for thousands for years because the Romans were white. Americans have built bridges that have not lasted for even one day because Americans are not white.
Enivornment my man. There is some spotted blue footed cactus owl that would lose some habitat
Self cleaning soap. Brilliant idea!
more like someone thought making a cable-stayed bridge with one point of failure was a good idea; seriously, even if this was built with the cables, one truck of peace could take it out. terrible design.
LOL. Watched a few news reports about the bridge collapse online. Not a single English name among the witnesses, firefighters, people interviewed. Mendez, Meijo, Diaz, Perez, Garcia, Mendoza, etc. etc. etc.
Wasn't the bridge in Florida designed by a woman?
en.wikipedia.org
Load limit of this Roman bridge is 52 tons you fucking cretin.
That is the worst truce I've ever seen.
Looks like what fucking casual noobs do on bridge construction games.
Like. Both beams in the red circle are on traction! It's basic engineering.
>>using only simple technology, no mortar only cut stone bricks that stick together through friction
OP is a moron in this regard, mortar/cement was well known and widely used by the Romans in their construction work.
China is a shithole and people expect their shoddy shit to collapse. The US is supposed to be a first-world country, do you really want to hold yourselves to Chinese standards?
