*_Great video... comprehensive yet understandable to average non-engineer..._* One thing all these different bridge types have in common is they must resist gravity. The larger and heavier the bridge, the sturdier it has to be. And, all of them look easy to build on paper. Site prep can be extensive. Some civil projects require constructing roads to the building site. Many areas in Japan and Chine have rugged terrain. Cut and fill, retaining structures, drainage, etc all have to be done before the bridge can even be started. *_We have 'Floating Bridges' across Lake Washington in Seattle. Who says thousands of tons of Concrete can't float?_*
There are some really really smart people in this world
Nice one, I wish I can also do this and also know how to build bridge and house
Start by drawing and making models, hobbies grow
Very broad overview.
Nice one

Bridge Engineers are very intelligent
Why ar non suspension bridges flat while suspension bridges are arced in the center ?
Sorry but this video is largely generic stuff not about deep water techniques at all. Very disappointing.
Can one learn to be a qualified engineer online
