Yesterday I got a bit longer to explain more technical details about the #BaltimoreBridgeCollapse on #TheBriefing podcast.

I'm still trying to make sense of the #BaltimoreBridgeCollapse , and put it into the broader context of #bridge #engineering

Unfortunately this is not the first time this bridge has been struck. #BaltimoreBridgeCollapse

This is the fender protection system on the Francis Scott Key Bridge (ref. AASHTO). It can be seen 'exploding' in the video, just prior to the bridge coming down. Unfortunately it was just not sufficient to absorb the approx. 200MN impact force. #BaltimoreBridgeCollapse

Another fatal collapse. The fact that arrests have already been made seems suspicious… greekcitytimes.com/2023/07/24/saf…

@7NewsSydney @Qantas Staff on the ground have told some of the more upset passengers that the aircraft is not safe to fly yet, however they are working on it.

@FlightEmergency The landing was very smooth. We're disembarking now. Captain did a great job explaining the situation throughout. Better safe than sorry.

What should the #bridge #dynamic #amplification (DLA/DAF) really be? What about B-Doubles? What about #viaducts? And what about hog in #prestressed girders?
Finally! In this paper we answer all these questions (50 days open access):

And here it is. @MonashUni TED building's response to last night's #Melbourne #earthquake. Much milder than Mansfield, but it excited different building modes.
Thx to the many ppl involved in this project @monashengineers @MonashCivil

Bridge of the Month 147: Old Bridge, in Bridgend, may be medieval in part – but if so mostly in the part that is enclosed between or beneath two buildings and inaccessible. A leak here in 2015 gave a glimpse of a long hidden span.

@DrBocian @monashengineers @VicGovDTP It is! It's hard work & sometimes stressful given the costs & timeframes involved, but then there are magical moments of cleaning bird poop off sensors & protecting them for future 🤣

Nighttime is when @monashengineers come out to play with our #bridges. Wireless sensor network maintenance in advance of a 640t #superload move for #Melbourne with #ODLS and @VicGovDTP
