That Canadian bridge ?

[@sampic_]

Quebec's bridge isn't one of Canada's most important crossing anymore. Trains and trucks don't go through anymore. The bridge isn't able to hold that much weight anymore and it shows by just how much work they have to do on it. Just to keep it safe for cars.

I wonder if pins should have been put through across the glued joints. We have always been taught glue and screw.

The sad thing about the Québec bridge is that despite its historical significance, its been poorly maintained for several decades. It hasn't been repainted anywhere near enough to stop corrosion, so its going to end up reaching the end of its life long before it should have.

Check out The Forth Bridge Scotland built 1890 still standing, still used by trains.

That is the reason the engeneers wear a metal ring on their last finger. It is done to remind them to make certain of their work before signing them

On utilise jamais de carrelets aboutés, mais du lamellé collé pour faire de si grosses charpente...

As a long experienced engineer and life long neighbour of this bridge plus a15 years of in situ photographic and technical inquiry and reading all reports that were made public:the same 3 causes for the 3 catastrophes ( the 3rd one is well in progress. A- The gross ignorance about structural instability of complex structures by engineers B-the hubris of administrators and engineers that did not exert proper technical control and C-- the profits placed above the safety of users and workers. The whole structure is once again systematically buckling., Inter-rivets on critical members and the four pots twisted main chord, major cracks on north-west main post beyond repairs. There is since its privatization in 1995 a total omertà on inspections and engineering studies. Rust is not the cause but a major increase of the metal ore bulk trains after a faulty 3D SAP-90 mathematical modellisation.

You make it sound like it happened 4 days ago, when ,in reality, happened years ago. Clarify the time difference in you/ of your postings and actual events...Simplify life...

It is important to highlight that the failure (x2) of the Quebec bridge was a catalyst in the formation of the Professional Engineering Governing Institutions in Canada. I understand that as a result of the clearly demonstrated need for improved Engineering in Canada. The Engineering Institute of Canada contracted with Rudyard Kipling in 1922 to create a Mythology and rituals to govern and provide spiritual guidance to the profession.
