History

Which bridge failure resulted from increased wind loads compromising structural integrity during the Industrial Revolution?

A)Tay Rail Bridge collapse
B)Tacoma Narrows Bridge twisting
C)Galloping Gertie vibrational resonance
D)Sunshine Skyway Bridge collision

💡 Explanation

The Tay Rail Bridge collapse occurred because of inadequate design against lateral wind loads, initiating structural failure via metal fatigue; therefore, the bridge failed structurally, rather than material defects, or naval collision during storm conditions.
