Bridges are vital structures that connect cities, industries, and people. However, engineering failures have led to catastrophic bridge collapses throughout history. This video explores the causes, case studies, and lessons learned from some of the most infamous bridge failures.

🔹 Common Causes of Bridge Collapses:
✅ Structural Overload – Excessive weight beyond design limits
✅ Material Failure – Corrosion, fatigue, or poor-quality materials
✅ Design Flaws – Miscalculations or inadequate safety margins
✅ Foundation Issues – Weak soil, scour erosion, or shifting ground
✅ Environmental Factors – Earthquakes, hurricanes, and flooding
✅ Lack of Maintenance – Neglected inspections and repairs
✅ Construction Errors – Poor workmanship or rushed construction

🔹 Notable Bridge Failures in History:
⚠️ Tacoma Narrows Bridge (1940, USA) – Aerodynamic instability led to violent oscillations
⚠️ Silver Bridge (1967, USA) – Metal fatigue in an eyebar caused sudden collapse
⚠️ I-35W Mississippi River Bridge (2007, USA) – Undersized gusset plates failed under load
⚠️ Morandi Bridge (2018, Italy) – Corrosion and structural defects led to disaster

🔹 Engineering Lessons from Failures:
🔍 Importance of Redundant Design – Avoiding single points of failure
🏗️ Use of Advanced Materials – Stronger, corrosion-resistant composites
🛠️ Regular Inspections & Maintenance – Early detection of weaknesses
🌉 Improved Construction Techniques – Strict quality control and safety checks

💡 Bridge engineering has evolved significantly, but understanding past failures helps prevent future disasters!
