I'm not a structural engineer, but I can tell you that the supporting piers for the ramps to the bridge itself are not deep enough. The ground is mud just below the surface in that spot by the river. The old bridge used cofferdams to pour concrete footings. This thing won't last long
So are they using AI to develop architectural plans now?
Yes, generative design has been present on Revit for about 2 years now, and it has been improving ever since. Check Autodesk Fusion 360, they are already using AI for creating generative designs.
I know the video states the problem with the foundations of the bridge towers, but the video makes it look like the danger is that the concrete will suddenly catch fire and burn to the ground!
A floating bridge? In a place that has hurricane tidal surges of 20 ft?
Yes, engineering is amazing, and it has been done many times. Depending on the design, you can compensate so it actually floats (steel structure), or compensate at the bottom, like you would in a compensated foundation (concrete structure), so the tide wouldn't affect the bridge. You have many design choices, and again, there are many examples already across the USA.
It also looked like they were laying the roadway on top of the vertical supports with shims in between. I do not trust this new thing and will be sad to see the 1959 Harbor bridge go.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Crappy klikbait advertising attempt.
SAYS WHO ! ? ! ? ! Is It A Chinese Company? ...Then Ok.
The project has been halted multiple times after the Texas Department of Transportation identified several problems with the foundations, most notably excessive torsion and other stresses during construction. Again these are official reports from the TxDOT.
