Overly delicate bridge design with multiple single points of failure, because FIU and it has to be "a milestone in engineering".
Add cheap unskilled labour to that to tighten the tension rods, and you've got yourself a catastrophic failure.

Well, the lesson to be learned here, especially for terrorists, is that if you climb on top and mess with only one tesion rod, the whole thing comes crashing down.

Obama was the “infrastructure president”. Where’s his blame?
This is a failure caused by women, and should hopefully cost female-centric engineering firms a lot of fucking money going forward.

that was it?
but thats not even a suspension bridge (pic related).
it is hard to believe that was all it took for this small bridge to come down.

Most bridges built in the 100s are collapsed. This is a rare one that still stands
In 2000 years, I doubt that even bridges like golden gate, mackinac, etc, will still be standing either

This. They made a truss bridge that looked like a new concept cable stayed bridge (for light shows), but they weren't smart enough to do a real cable stayed bridge. It is post modern architecture nothing more.

YFW this has more to do with the contractors installing the bridge than the engineers. YFW the contractors were male, and should have been female, then this shit would have been done right.

Jaxson Russell
Short answer: Field revisions and mistensioning
The comparison between a bridge that is just being built falling down and one that has stood forever standing makes zero sense.
How many bridges back in 100AD collapsed before they were finished? How many bridges weren't built because they didn't have the technology? Apart from them both being bridges, in what way are the two similar?
Hunter Lee
Yes its an all-woman engineering firm.

actually it is a suspension bridge.
Jackson Jackson
It was a truss bridge. The suspension part was supposed to be only for show.
Aaron Murphy
Is it really surprising to you that a bridge that uses tensioned concrete will fall if that tension is messed with?
Blake Adams
Should be simple for a White male to understand.

Was this posted?
Hudson Robinson
there were more factors than that.
This. Or more precisely, an unsuspended suspension bridge with the supports not up to spec, some of the supports in the wrong place, and some overtightened tension rods to try to compensate.
well it is now.
Daniel Jenkins
They hired women and minorities to engineer and manage the build. That's what happened.

I really hate how the new Starwars movie shit on the idea of Representive Republics being SJW mommy coddlers, instead of institutions made to secure public order, defend freedoms, and pass laws for the common good.
It literally took a huge steaming dump over what generations of Americans fought and died for; and replaced it with existential "class" warfare of the worst sort.
Parker Rodriguez
Hack is probably accurate in this case. Obviously prestressed concrete is nothing new, but it's being used in a completely novel way for this project. So an interesting bridge was produced, but at the cost of predictability.
Colton Parker
>completely novel way
you "obviously" know nothing about this bridge, or bridges in general. "Pre-stressed" tells me you don't know the difference between tension and stress, and the entire point of failure was in the POST-tensioning cylinder. Because this is a post-tensioned truss bridge, not pre-tensioned.
Post-tensioned truss bridges have been around for over 60 years.
lib.dr.iastate.edu
page 15
It wasn't an interesting bridge. It is a very boring construction. The interesting parts were the speed of construction, and the giant facade on the top.
Carson Nelson
>new Starwars
was also a hot load all over star wars itself
just like this bridge was a fuck you to fundamentals of bridge design
Brody Johnson
When they moved it into place they fucked up
the supports weren't in the same spots as in the design docs, because there was sand and shit in the way. Someone compromised and figured it'd be fine moving the supports a little further inwards
This caused extra stress on the bridge. Something broke and the stress on one of the truss things didn't let up even after the bridge was installed.
Furthermore, post installation the steel supports inside the trusses all had to be tensioned. Well, the guys on top of the bridge with the crane were doing exactly that when the bridge collapsed.
So most likely something already broke and was already stressing the steel, and then these guys tensioned it up even more and it catastrophically failed.
Juan Rivera
It failed exactly where the guy on top was doing something to the tension rods. My guess is he put too much pressure on it and it broke. By design the bridge had multiple single points of failure, and that tension rod was one of them.
William Garcia
Hmm, maybe you don't understand. Post tension is a type of prestress.
You linked to a document on composite bridges. What does it have to do with the FIU bridge exactly?
Lucas Robinson
Did you read the lines below and above the link? I gave a source for my claim "Post-tensioned truss bridges have been around for over 60 years"
Which goes against your claim that this was a novel bridge construction.
Juan Ramirez
>Visual Quality Aesthetics Director
What that means and why it is so high
Evan Harris
In finnish it is something like "first tension". It doesn't make sense to me that you would call it pre-stress, since you're compressing the concrete to protect against future stresses.
I'll concede that I didn't know the English term.

Feminism is Marxist Postmodernism, not remotely Capitalist. This group of idiots built a bridge upon pure ideology instead of scientific merit, and it collapsed as Communism always does. This is indeed the deadly Pride of the delusional. But, worry not... it wasn't a REAL bridge. Real bridges have never been tried.
Kevin Taylor
shouldn't you be on /r9k/?
what does women hate thread material have to do with this bridge collapsing?
Jose Wood
Eli Jones
Yes, so this document is referring to a very different thing...
Composite bridges are very conventional and place concrete on top of steel, so that the steel is under tension and concrete under compression. The post-tensioning they refer to in this context is on the steel structure in order to increase strength of an already constructed beam.
This IS a novel project because it's an extremely long and heavy span, and the largest pedestrian bridge to ever use this type of transporter. On top of it all, it relies entirely on prestressed concrete. They made use of some existing techniques, of course, but as a whole, it's not normal, and thus not highly predictable.

You didn't read the cite and you're still talking about it.
Since you seem to be able to somewhat read Sup Forums posts, but not links, I describe it to you:
There is an introduction in that paper, and part of that (1.3) is a literature review. In this, the concepts around the dissertation "Strengthening composite bridges by post-tensioning" are explored briefly.
1.3.3, which is on page 15, which I mentioned when I used it as a cite, looks at the history of post-tensioning.
From 1.3.3, where they look at the history of post-tensioned bridges, there is a cite from a paper from THE SIXIES of a post-tensioned concrete bridge in Canada.
The transporter is an aspect of the speed of construction in my opinion.
And the internet consensus is that the revisions for the transporters (moved from underneath the pier to the midspan, no spreader plates) in the interest of getting the bridge installed quickly is that caused the failure.
