I love watching smart people talk about something they are passionate about. There's such a subtle happiness on his face as he talks about something that a lot of people would find dull.
As a third year civil Engineering student in Jamaica. I really enjoyed it, these are the people who should teach ppl, get them motivated and interested in the world of civil and structural engineering
ok great I came to read the comments and i'm glad i'm not the only one complaining they could have done a better job on lighting his face. poor guy, deserved a lot more.
This is the sort of video I love - going in-depth with an engineer about how they think about a bridge conceptually, what design problems and constraints they have to address, and how the different solutions differ. This video is particularly well illustrated with animations over the images to emphasizing their points.
The direction of the arrows in the illustrations was really frustrating to watch. Isolate one member & show the forces acting on it, just randomly drawing arrows confuses the viewer.
Tell my students all time not to draw arrow pairs on their trusses. Ambiguous. Tell me you just drew tension and I'll explain why you drew compression. And the other way, too.
I was thinking just the same thing. For sure those animations weren’t showed to the interviewee, because he knows what he’s talking about and the illustrations don’t.
As a Londoner I was getting very worried that Tower Bridge wasn't going to be shown as an example of a moving Bridge. The relief when it got its own section was palpable 🤣
@Adrien Leis - Honestly, it looked to me like someone had split his head with an axe. I was halfway expecting his brains to be visible through the split. I didn't even notice at first but by the end I could barely think about anything else.
Sure is distracting. They clearly didn't rig both of them with similar mics in the same acoustic environment. Maybe she's a robot! Just a speaker under the camera.
And her scripted questions don't add to much, maybe just the guy explaining would be better, the female voice feels like an interruption, there's no dialogue About the bridges themselves I learned a lot
Why was I so invested in a 25 minute video about bridges? How was this material so accessible and interesting? Great video. I have the same feelings a lot of other people do about the lighting, but still...this was fabulous.
The lighting on Dr. Mabry is insulting. That said, otherwise this video is fantastic. I enjoyed the interview format; he’s a very engaging speaker! And the b-roll and graphics of the different bridge types went right along with what he was saying. Really enjoyed it!
ok great I came to read the comments and i'm glad i'm not the only one complaining they could have done a better job on lighting his face. poor guy, deserved a lot more.
I cannot thank you enough for this video. I am making a bridge project with my 4th-grade students, this video covered everything needed and even more!!!! Thank you, thank you thank you.......
This is what my dad does. Surprisingly most bridges are DECADES past due for repair... budget people are often not educated on the safety issues associated with this type of neglect.... just like the lighting person was not aware how badly he truly needed that spotlight that the production budget of this video did not allow for... Moral of the story... if you think a bridge looks unsafe or you have a strong gut feeling to avoid a bridge... you probably should. 😉
Oohhh they showed the Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge! We just live less than 40 minutes away there. It’s beautiful and also a perfect pace to cycle since it’s in the Shimanami Kaido Cycling route 😁
Really interesting video, one thing I'd like to say about the bailey bridges, while they are/were supposed to be temporary, they were usually really well made. The US army left some bridges in my country after WW2, and some are still operating today... Sure usually they can't carry very heavy weights anymore and stuff like that but there was a bailey bridge between 2 villages near my town that was working as actual road bridge (as in, not just for pedestrians but also for cars) until last year... AFAIK they didn't actually demolish it, but instead took it apart and rebuilt it in some military history museum... And as for stone arch bridges being able to last long, we have multiple very old stone bridges here in europe, not just the aquaduct, for example the Charles Bridge, built in 1348, in Prague is my favourite, and it can carry an incredible load... Well an incredible amount of overweight american tourists, but that's a great load bearing test imo :D
WIRED was completely unprepared to film a black person on the day this was filmed xD surprise surprise, different skill colours need different kind of lighting!
This was so interesting and easy to follow. He is such a good teacher and the charts with the highlighted information solidified my understanding of the explanation.
That was super interesting! Thanks for that! I hope you bring him back to discuss and analyze things like engineering disasters (the Tacoma bridge incident is amazing) even if they are not bridge related.
Dr. Nehemiah's "city support" video sent me over here, and i'm so excited to see he's explaining this too! bridges are one of my favorite things, but i haven't really studied them or kept up with new developments since i was in high school, so this is making my day!
Really looks like a safety issue. Normal draw bridge, someone trapped on it when it opens, unless they're an idiot or Exceptionally unlucky, will slide back down onto land. On the sort where the central section is lifted straight up, they're just stuck for the duration. This sort just flat out dumps them in the water. Further, it has a maximum clearance based on the arc of the curve. Draw bridges do not. Heck, if you've got room on the bank(s) and the water isn't too wide you can build a swing bridge! (Err... Wait, a swing bridge might be a different thing. Might have the names muddled.) It's basically just a beam mounted on a pivot. It swings Sideways, basically like a gate. Less mechanically complicated, only slightly more risk of dropping someone stuck on it into the water than a draw bridge, less than the rotating type actually used. The only problem is that if the sections are too long you have to cantilever them, which means a bigger chunk of the bank must be kept clear. Depending exactly how the thing is built they can be turned with a hand crank, or even just pushed (it's basically the same principle as a canal lock gate, just without the gate.)
Nice to see the Winking Eye getting the mention, and glad they actually showed footage of it moving, but it sounds like he says Millennial Bridge. Another Tyne bridge appears in the bridge type list at 0:12, with the Swing Bridge for a swing bridge.
At 12:52, the entry for the Truss Bridge Type: "Fracture critical (no load path redundancy)". Regrettably, Dr. Mabry does not discuss this matter in the video. But this aspect of the truss bridge is really important. A number of truss structure failures hinge on this failure mode. Engineers take note. Also, the matter of why one type of bridge structure is selected over another in a particular situation is not discussed. Oh, well.
Would love to know if suspensions bridges are best used over rivers and in earthquake areas, why the great belt bridge is a suspensions bridge, considering it is in Denmark which doesn’t really have any earthquakes and it’s over a ocean.
late to the game but it's because it's likely a major shipping lane. The suspension allows great distances between piers for more traffic to go through at once without putting any risk into ship or infrastructure.
Good info! Perhaps a sequel will include such things as pavement types on bridges vs. on ordinary ground, what to do when designing a bridge where ice can occur, and the use of interlacing beams and other compensations for thermal expansion and contraction. There is much to learn on this subject.
i love these episodes! so informative and the over voiced questions are wonderful. THANK YOU to all the professionals who take time out of their days to inform us
Was surprised to see Newcastle UK take as long as it did it get a mention.

You forgot floating bridges. We have three floating bridges in Washington State each over a mile long. One will soon have light rail trains crossing it.
The best example of a suspension bridge is the Humber Bridge between the East Riding of Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire in England. At the time of completion, it had the longest span of any suspension bridge in the world.
I've been reading all these reviews and everyone's tripping about the lighting on this guy. Who cares what the lighting's like, I never even noticed it until all these people said something on here. I just think it's interesting how these bridges are constructed and made, I've always been fascinated by Bridges and the construction of them especially over water is really interesting and cool. this guy definitely knows what he's talking about.
Not to sound repetitive or anything... but whoever was in charge of lighting here shouldn't be allowed near a light bulb ever again.

@@maryrosekent8223 That is really interesting. I hope to visit it in person someday.

I hope you get a chance while it’s still structurally sound enough for crossing.
You forgot floating bridges. We have three floating bridges in Washington State each over a mile long. One will soon have light rail trains crossing it.
The best example of a suspension bridge is the Humber Bridge between the East Riding of Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire in England. At the time of completion, it had the longest span of any suspension bridge in the world.
My favourite bridges are suspension bridges and cable stayed bridges.
Same here!
@@STEMedia they look great but are not the strongest one
I watched this in my classroom today and I LOVED IT REEEEE XD ITS AMAZING HOW THIS WORKS!
The interviewer overdub is excruciatingly painful to listen to.
THANK YOU
Came to the comments about the lighting... I see I’m not alone here 💡🕵🏾♂️💡
I LOVED THIS !!! PLEASE DO ONE WITH AN AEROSPACE ENGINEER !!!!
💯💯💯
I've been reading all these reviews and everyone's tripping about the lighting on this guy. Who cares what the lighting's like, I never even noticed it until all these people said something on here. I just think it's interesting how these bridges are constructed and made, I've always been fascinated by Bridges and the construction of them especially over water is really interesting and cool. this guy definitely knows what he's talking about.
This guy is so good at explaining this. I learned alot! Thank you.
