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!
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
That is exactly what the story said. duuuh
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.
Why would you lead into the video with a 🐃💩 photoshop image of the bridge either exploding or on fire. That is just misleading and has nothing to do with what may have been an informative article. 👎
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.
Think of the bridge as a boat, if the accesses are articulated, the bridge will rise and fall with the tide. The idea is not new in Japan and in Seattle there are floating bridges.

Have The Chinese Engineering Look At IT?
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.
Hey, what's the worst could happen?
OK. Someone tell how a floating structure is more stable than a driven pile structure.
If we think that in certain circumstances the ground behaves like a fluid, such as on the banks of rivers, on the seashore or even in land with a high water table during seismic events, (soil liquefaction) a structure that floats to prevent differential subsidence.
This solution is typical in medium-sized buildings when we excavate the ground in a proportion equal to the weight of the building. And by mediums I mean the order of twenty levels of height.
Question from an uneducated joe bloggs. How was so much money put into such a badly designed structure doomed to fail? It seems to me that somebody didn't do a very good job somewhere along the long line of distinguished people.
Avoid it at all cost it will fall the first day there's a traffic fender bender and cops aren't there to keep it one lane for the withhold the weight...With those made in China..Cheap cables with the supports built in sand its gonna kill some people I. Never going over it ive seen concrete fall off the bridge now before its finishes its will fall here when it opens
Another Linda fig disaster.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Wow a disaster to come
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.
Today, the structures that have lasted the longest are in the United States.
