The design was supposed to be bridge supported by hanging on cables from the central support.
Idiets put up one half of the bridge, made of concrete, made to hang, but not supported over the span.
It collapsed under own weight. They needed to support it while the other half and center support tower is raised and cables ran to the anchor points on the bridges.
PC smart ass engineering, installation, funded by tax dollars and kickbacks to politicians.
FRee advice from FRengineer.
design engineers are not responsible foe the means and methods of construction. if the design is sound, the engineers are clean.
Thank You!
From what I have read over the last two days this sounds like the bridge was not installed properly. It has nothing to do with the design or materials. This single tower cable support system has been used all over the world. The Zakim bridge in Boston is a fine example of a cable stayed bridge.
