@tagesschau Faszinierendes Foto; hunderte/tausende Personen auf einer Brücke.
Meine technische Orientierung lässt mich überlegen, wie viel all diese Menschen wiegen könnten, und wie das mit #Schwerlast #Transport vergleichbar ist.
Ich denke, ein #Brücken #Bau #Ingenieur muss anscheinend auch ein vollständig mit Menschen gefülltes Szenario berücksichtigen, plus was, 20-50% Sicherheitsschwelle? 🤓 (ich schaue gern Grady und sein #PracticalEngineering auf YouTube an)
Every time I see Grady Hilhouse drop a new Practical Engineering video, that's an instant click. Ever since I first saw a functioning model of a civil water system on "Mister Rogers Neighborhood" as a kid, I've been fascinated with the built environment. Civil infrastructure is what makes all this (waves arms) work.

The same thing that makes #NiagaraFalls impressive for tourists (the big drop) makes it valuable for power and a major challenge for shipping. And out of that comes all kinds of fascinating infrastructure.

[Note that this article is a transcript of the video embedded above.] There’s a new trend in high-rise building design. Maybe you’ve seen this in your city. The best lots are all taken, so developers are stretching the limits to make use of space that isn’t always ideal for skyscrapers. They’re no
Ich hätte ja gedacht, der Schlamm sammelt sich von der Mauer aus an. Intuition, du alter Lügner.
Wenn das jetzt noch zu unseren anderen Infrastrukturproblemen dazu kommt.. Ei ei ei..
“I don’t think there’s a better example in history where all the various factors of a technical problem converged into a singular solution in this way. I love cable-stayed bridges. Happy Valentine's Day!”
Ah yes, the engineer's way 😄
